The Appeal for 2010 at Princess Marina House is to raise money for a window depicting 70 years of RAF aircraft in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The window, designed by David Batchelor, a local artist of Sussex, will depict aircraft in action from 1940 to the present time. It will be on display at the entrance of Princess Marina House for the pleasure of all visitors and guests from September 2010.
On May 13th 2010 The Friends of PMH launched the Princess Marina House commemorative window appeal with a table sale at PMH which raised the first £145.00.
The next major fundraising event was the annual charity golf day on the 9th July 2010 at Littlehampton Golf Club when players from the local community and the RAF family raised £3200. The golf day was supported by The Friends of Princess Marina House and sponsored by BAe, Yeomans, The Body Shop and RAF Wittering.
