Remember RAF100
Remember RAF100 marks the formation of the RAF and commemorates air service personnel who lost their lives in World War One. Schools, families, community groups and more across the UK are invited to join the project to mark the centenary of the Armistice, discover local history and commemorate the contributions of air force personnel. Groups that take part can illustrate specially commissioned poems and create a unique poetry book for the project which can be shared with their communities. Groups can also explore their local history and commemorate air service personnel using the Remember RAF100 database.
Free resources and an expenses scheme are available. Find out more at big-ideas.org/project/remember-raf100
The Unremembered: World War One’s Army of Workers
The Unremembered is a national campaign to remember World War One’s army of workers – the Labour Corps. Many died, yet today their contribution and sacrifice is rarely acknowledged. Historical researchers have been commissioned to unearth unknown local heritage by researching local Labour Corps history across the UK. Groups can engage with this local heritage to discover and share these stories, plan their own commemorative events, and remember them 100 years on from the end of the conflict.
Free resources and an expenses scheme are available. Find out more at big-ideas.org/project/the-unremembered
Trailblazers: World War One’s Inspirational Women
Trailblazers encourages young people to explore the incredible lives of women from the First World War, to discover Trailblazing women in your locality, and to develop as future Trailblazers. Schools and community groups across the country can research a contemporary Trailblazer in your local community and host an exhibition celebrating the incredible achievements of women today.
Free resources and an expenses scheme for small-scale funding are available. Find out more at big-ideas.org/project/trailblazers
