The captaindavidseathmemorialfund raises money as a means to support over eight hundred personnel, veterans and their families across Scotland, through helpforheroes’ Fellowship Programme. One way in which funds have been used is to run regular arttherapy workshops and the artwork, pottery, poetry and photography produced will showcase at Edinburgh Napier University’s historic Craiglockhart Campus, from 19-22 November 2019.

Help for Heores’ Creative Force Scotland Exhibition will showcase how the artists have used creativity to explore and express their emotions as part of their ongoing recovery from physical and psychological injuries. This #event provides a wonderful opportunity to view the art and engage with the artists at the site where World War One Officers, including Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, were also encouraged to explore creativity as a means to alleviate the symptoms of Neurasthenia (shell shock) at Craiglockhart Military Hospital.
