Remembrance Sunday will be on the 14th of November - details of the service in Upchurch will be announced by the church.
The Royal British Legion is at the heart of a national network that supports our Armed Forces community. It is the country’s largest Armed Forces charity with about 235,000 members and 110,000 volunteers and a network of partners and charities helping it give support wherever and whenever it is needed. Each year it leads the nation in commemorating and honouring those who have served and sacrificed.
This year we celebrate the centenary of the Royal British Legion and special centenary pins will be available from the collectors for a four pound donation when they come round. If you would like your centenary pin earlier please contact me.
In Upchurch, a team of local volunteers will again be making the annual house-to-house collections from Saturday the 30th of October to Saturday the 13th of November.
Volunteer house-to-house collectors are needed for Butchers Green, Eastwood Meadow, Forge Lane, Kent Terrace, Pear Tree Grove, Quilters Yard, The Street and Woods Edge - if you would be willing to give a few hours of your time to collect in one or more of these roads during the appeal please contact me. I will offer full support and assistance so that you only have to do the house-to-house collecting in your allocated street.
Also, I would welcome help with organising which covers the periods leading up to, during and after the appeal. Ideally, I would like someone to come forward and be willing “to learn the ropes” with a view to taking over in 2022.
