Dear all,
Please see the attached letters of appreciation from The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes. It is great to know that the event was not only thoroughly enjoyable, but also went some way to helping those in need. For info the Centenary Dinner raised just over £2.2K for the RBL, H4H and the GWT.
I understand that the Gurkhas will be involved in our next event as part of their 200th anniversary.
Here is the Thank You email from The Gurkhas:
Dear Mr Saunders,
We were delighted to receive a cheque for S$650.00 as proceeds from the Sandbag WW1 Centenary Dinner. The cheque was recently forwarded to us by Gurkha Contingent Singapore Police. I understand the donation was made following performance by Gurkha Contingent Pipes & Drums in support of the Dinner.
Thank you so much for nominating the Trust as the beneficiary of your event and is greatly appreciated. Your generous donation will help us support needy Gurkha veterans and their dependants in Nepal. Our grateful thanks to the Committee and all those involved with organising the Dinner.
One again, with our grateful thanks for your support.
Kind Regards,
Bishnu
