The Grange Leisure Centre and the Royal British Legion's Midhurst & District Branch have officially launched a new partnership to support veterans, reservists, serving personnel and military families across the local area.
The partnership was formally launched during a Friends of the Armed Forces Family Breakfast event held at The Grange earlier in the month, where veterans and supporters enjoyed tea and toasties as everyone got to know each other.
The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal launched on Thursday 22nd October and shines a light on Armed Forces families, recognising the unique challenges and sacrifices they make in support of their loved ones who serve.
Jason Davis, General Manager for The Grange Leisure Centre, said: “Supporting veterans, serving personnel, reservists and military families is incredibly important to us.
"We are proud to officially launch this partnership with the Royal British Legion’s Midhurst & District Branch and look forward to working together to raise awareness and provide support, with the intention to make a real difference in our community.”
The Leisure Centre will hold fundraising events for the Royal British Legion throughout the year.
James Palmer, Chair of the RBL’s Midhurst & District Branch, said: “We are proud to partner with The Grange Leisure Centre to raise awareness and support our local Armed Forces community.
"With around 600 veterans living in the area, plus serving personnel and their families, the RBL is here for everyone, whatever the need.
"This partnership will help us connect people to vital services, from financial and housing support, adapting to civilian life, and physical recovery programmes to building lifelong camaraderie.”
