It is very important to our Branch that those who feel they need practical, emotional or financial support from the Legion are able to contact the relevant person easily and confidentially. With recent changes in the way the Legion handles welfare matters it may no longer be clear to all what do or who to ask for assistance.

If any Member needs the support of the Legion or knows of someone who may require our assistance they should contact one of the following people:

• Charles Garraway, Welfare Officer on 01276 24176 or charlesgarraway@hotmail.com

• Danuta Allen, Branch Secretary on 01276 502123 or richard.allen4057@ntlworld.com

• Mike Sheard, Chairman on 01276 474711 or mikesheard@msn.com

• Tim Beckh, Vice Chairman on 07780 688955 or tim@beckh.co.uk

Failing that Members can contact the Royal British Legion Welfare Helpline on 0808 802 8080.

If you think you need help or advice, do not suffer in silence - just ask.
