The Motivation and Learning Trust needs you! Battlefield Tour October 2018

Due to the huge success of our Battlefield Tour earlier on this year in May, we would like to give Learners the opportunity to embark on another tour in October this year. The tour goes to France and Belgium to visit the scene of the fighting on “The Western Front” of World War One. Fierce fighting took place in this area between the outbreak of war in 1914 and the signing of the Armistice in November of 1918, it is truly fantastic for the MLT to enable MPCT Learners to see this historic site with the donations from our supporters.

The 4 day tour can take up to 85 Learners plus 4 trustees, however none of this is possible if the Motivation and Learning Trust do not receive the amount of donations required to take the Learners on this trip of a lifetime. MLT is proud to support MPCT Learners in providing specific educational opportunities, in line with their Aims and Charters. This Battlefield Tour will provide a unique opportunity for learners to see he environment for themselves, the first time many will have travelled abroad. It is particularly poignant in its close timing to the 100 year Anniversary of WW1.

The dates of Tour are the 4th-8th October 2018, please spread the word and get donating if you can!
