We offer Face to Face sessions that are hosted by our M4H volunteers all around the UK.  There are also model making sessions held by other organisations.  Click here to find your local session. (You will need to register.)  

These sessions are free, closed to the public and are intended to be a safe and considerate place to be.

We also have a private social media group on Facebook that is just for beneficiaries, volunteers and supporters.  These are private, safe places to share your projects.  Details on how to join will be provided. 

Every Sunday morning at 11am we produce a Live interactive show on YouTube showcasing the models made by beneficiaries during the week.  Tune in and enjoy the fun and games with us.

We host Online Model Making workshops.  Referrals for the workshops can be obtained through Walking With the Wounded. Click this link: Online Model Making Project for more details.
