GRANT AWARDED - Morecambe & Heysham Model Railway Club
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Morecambe & Heysham Model Railway Club for some new signage and pavement signs to publicise their regular open days.
The club provides a meeting place in Morecambe for members to socialise, share an interest in model trains, and discuss railways in general.

Although historically the hobby has mostly attracted a majority of male members, there are also now more and more female and younger members. The club also supports and encorages younger members who have mental health challenges and learning difficulties. Additionally, some members are widows and widowers, and the club provides an opportunity for them to get out and engage socially with other members.
They hold regular open days at their premises at Morecambe Street West and wanted to make sure that visitors and potential new members could find them, so they approached us at the 3R Foundation for a grant for to replace an exterior hanging sign, reface an existing pavement display they had inherited so they could reuse it, and purchase a new weather proof pavement display to go on Morecambe prom.
