Inside QVSR
This video gives an insight into the work of QVSR 175 years on from when the charity was first established in 1843 in London’s Docklands.
Bringing History To Life
One of the most exciting elements of QVSR’s 175th Anniversary Celebrations was the performances by Applecart Arts of four vignettes depicting key periods in QVSR’s history. These vignettes were written and directed by Peter Moreton, Artistic Director at Applecart Art, who also performs in the vignettes.
