Each year we fund dozens of concerts, providing 100s of veterans with song, dance & entertainment from Mickie Driver and his Collective. This week the team performed at @BlindVeterans in Brighton, where they were lucky enough to meet Marjorie May (98) who, during WWII, ran MTRS.
🥁 Drum roll please, ladies and gentlemen 🥁 Yesterday's station collection raised an astonishing £2596.60! A BIG thank you to our volunteers & the lovely @swingtimesweet for all their support. We couldn't do it without you all!
Cyril Banks managed to hand deliver an invitation to his 95th birthday party to HRH The Princess Royal at our Christmas Reception yesterday. All of our events are designed to combat isolation & loneliness, but our big Christmas party also warms hearts and brings Christmas cheer!
RT @mattgoss: I don’t ask this very often, but PLEASE retweet… We have all felt lonely, it does not take one second to pick up the phone and make sure somebody is not alone this Christmas. Thank you. XO https://t.co/nwrGUufp3b
