World War Two Workshop Volunteer

We need friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to share their experiences of what it was like growing up during, or just after WWII with visiting school children. The idea is that children are so often told what it was like for adults during the war, it would be great for them to be able to talk to people who can tell them what it was like for children during the War.
