Regrettably, because of the latest “lockdown” and the restrictions which have been imposed, we have had to make the decision to cancel all courses for January, February and March 2021.
We sincerely hope that we will be able to restart courses in April 2021 but we will have to abide by the government’s guidance in the light of the progress of the Covid-19 pandemic.
If you need further information, please contact the Course Administrator at: http://[email protected]

Dear All,
Due to recent government announcements regarding COVID-19 and the requirement for social distancing, we regret that all bookbinding courses are cancelled until the end of May. Further announcements will be made if we need to extend this period. Please let us know if you would like us to transfer your names to a course later in the year.
We wish you all good health and for those who have already learnt some bookbinding – keep practicing!
Kind regards
Ali Strachan
Bound by Veterans is delighted to announce a new supporter of the charity. The Clothworkers Foundation has very kindly made a generous donation to support the bookbinding courses we run.
BBV offers bookbinding tuition to Wounded, Injured and Sick veterans of the services to aid their recovery through its therapeutic benefits, and to help them transition to civilian life by gaining internationally recognised qualifications.
The first to gain this qualification in the UK, Wendy Lagden, earned a Distinction in her C&G Level 3 Bookbinding, and was presented with her Diploma by Captain Alison Towler of the Royal Navy, President of the Association of Wrens on 10th December. As well as being a huge achievement for Wendy, an ex-aircraft engineer in the Royal Navy who was discharged with MS in 2005, this was an important milestone in the history of the charity and we are enormously grateful to our sponsors for their support.
