AS indicatod by the 8tstistic8, Veterans
who have taken part in tsster 8e88ions
off8r8d through Tedworth House, at vos
in Portsmouth and Tribe in Scotland have
enjoyed the craft so much they have
progressed to attend C&G courses and
Show keen Interest In slgnlng up for and
achieving C&G qualifications in the craft.
8 veterans achieved their Level 1 C&G
certificate and 15 more registered for
Levels 1 and 2 qualifications. We are
proud that 6 veterans are currently
engaged in a Level 3 Diploma which is
the highest qualification available in the
craft.
Testimonials from the veterans speak
volumes about the mental health benefits
of taking part in theso Ix>okbinding
18ssons.

Employabllity is part of our ethos and to
this end we encourage veterans to help
on a voluntary basis with fundrai8ing
activities. One such was making 70
not•books commissionod by a City of
London Guild, where a small team gave
up their time and in some case8 travelled
long distances to make the book8 which
rai88d money for the charlty. Tlmo
Sensitive projects such as these are a
learning process and have been greatly
enjoyed due to tho sense of purpose and
the clear beneflts of maklng products to
raise money.
