On Thursday 4th February Chailey Heritage Foundation is opening its doors to the local community for a captivating talk on its history, and an opportunity to learn about the work the charity does today. Established in 1903, Chailey Heritage Foundation has a fascinating history supporting children and young people with a range of conditions such as tuberculosis, rickets, and polio, even treating injured soldiers during both World Wars.
Guest speaker, Dr Julie Anderson, Reader in the History of Modern Medicine at the University of Kent and a member of the Gateways to the First World War network, will talk about Chailey Heritage Foundation’s unique approach to the rehabilitation of soldiers injured in the First World War.
