Models for Heroes
We would like to introduce Models for Heroes (M4H), a UK-based charitable organisation to support the use of model making hobbies within former and current Armed Forces and Emergency Service Personnel in the United Kingdom.
On the website you will see small widgets promoting the organisation, indicating the % of sales that our store will donate to the charity, as well as a Checkout box where you may round-up your cart total or donate a custom amount to M4H when you place your order.
The Aims of Models for Heroes are
- To support former and current Armed Forces & Emergency Service personnel within the UK and overseas territories.
- To promote the use of model making as a therapeutic, meaningful activity.
Models for Heroes is donation driven
- M4H would not be able to function if it wasn’t for the kindness of strangers wanting to help and provide what they can. The majority of our model kits, tools and supplies are donated by the general public who regard model making to be therapeutic and curative.
- Individuals, clubs and companies raise money for us by taking part in large sponsor events and fundraising at model exhibitions. In accordance with our governing documents any funds raised go straight to the furthering of our aims.
- M4H is entirely ran by unpaid Volunteers. Copies of the latest Financial Reports can be found on Companies House, or summarised on their Impact page.
Models for Heroes attend several model shows and events all round the UK throughout the year. They also have a strong social media presence as well as a YouTube channel with step-by-step tutorials.
