Royal Signals Veterans Donate to the NSPCC.
In 2009, the Branch Members decided to support a charity each year by bucket collections at our Branch social functions. Rather than supporting just one charity, the unusual step of selecting a different charity each year by asking members to nominate their own choice and then drawing the winner for the year was chosen.
Since the start, the Branch has donated in excess of £5,150 to nine charities, namely Great North Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Support, Star & Garter, Butterwick Children’s Hospice, British Heart Foundation, Gurkha Welfare Trust, ABF, The Not Forgotten Association and lastly the NSPCC.
A cheque to the value of £350 was presented to Katy Carmen of the NSPCC at our Branch Meeting on Thursday 28th March 2019.
