BRANCH NEWS

The branch is delighted to announce that the Appeal for the 2010/2011 year has raised £5,070 so far. As the Poppy Year does not end until September we are heading for an all time record.

We would also like to give our very warm thanks to the organisers of the Cottenden Craft Fair for nominating the Legion as one of their two charities for 2010; it made a very significant contriution of a further £3,000. The branch would like to thank all three villages for their generous support at a time when it is not easy to do so.

This year the legion celebrates its 90th birthday and its work is more urgent than it has been for many generations. While never forgetting older veterans of Korea, Malaya, Falklands, Northern Ireland and, of course, World War II, we must now focus on the welfare of those wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq. Funding has now been agreed for four Personnel Recovery Centres and a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre. With your help the Legion campaigns for, and looks after the welfare of, both current and ex-serving members of the Armed Forces, and their families. To widen our support and interest in this important work we need to increase the branch membership which does not need to be made up solely of ex-service people
