The summer programme supports The Poppy Factory’s national Veteran and Family Services. Last year, the charity helped more than 1,100 members of the Armed Forces community make progress on the path to employment.

Amanda Shepard, Chief Executive of The Poppy Factory, said: “Summer is a great time to make new connections in our community. We’re looking forward to welcoming many different visitors this year, from adults with school-age children who are looking for an informative and affordable afternoon out, to local groups who need flexible space for their own activities. If you haven’t yet discovered all that we have to offer in the heart of Richmond, now is the perfect time to get in touch.”

The Poppy Factory also encourages veterans from the Armed Forces community, especially those based in London, to join their team of volunteers to support activities and share their experience of military life with visiting guests of all ages.
