Volunteer recruitment

We’re always looking out for new volunteers at the RAF Ingham Heritage centre.

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator, Karen, was at a Volunteer Event run by Community and Voluntary Partnership in the Moorland Community Centre, Lincoln on Monday 2 June.

​

The event was well attended by the public and other voluntary organisations with lots of interest shown in our Heritage Centre.

​

If you’d like to know more about volunteering, you find more about the opportunities we can offer and how to apply on our ‘Volunteering’ page.

The Polish pilot's 80th Anniversary commemmoration route

We were honoured to host a group of 15 Polish pilots who were flying this route from Warszawa, to honour the memory of Polish pilots who served during the war. The flight commemorates the end of the war, The Battle of Britain and the 80th anniversary of the Polish pilots association. They came to see the centre, talked with volunteers on site, and respectfully laid a wreath they had brought from Poland. The centre was presented with a beautiful plaque to commemorate this joyous occasion. We wish them ‘’WysokoÅ›ci’ on their inward journey.

MEMORIAL GARDEN UPDATE

After many hours of volunteers’ digging, installing drainage, removing stones and spreading manure, the roses for our new Memorial Garden have now been planted.

 

The newly laid out garden will surround the centre’s triple flagpole and form a fitting visual focus to the grounds.

 

We look forward to a colourful display as the garden develops and matures. 

We’d also like to thank our supplier Colin Gregory Roses Ltd of Spalding for their help and support.

Rose supplier Colin Gregory who was happy to support the development of the centre's memorial rose garden.
