Mossley Heritage & Development Association will use funding to run a programme of events designed to both commemorate the 60th Anniversary of VE/VJ Day and to inform and educate people about the impact of the War on the local area. This will include an evening of fireworks and period entertainment, educational trips to local heritage centres, a war memorabilia exhibition, a series of lectures and seminars and a Christmas dinner for veterans and widows where they can share their wartime experiences.
