Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last November we had the idea to combine an Act of Remembrance with a Poppy Walk. We managed the Act of Remembrance, but due to lockdown were unable to undertake an organised walk to visit the Commonwealth War Grave Commission grave sites in and around Chippenham.

In the next phase of our fundraising we will be visiting the 5 Cemeteries in and around the town where there are War Graves,  learning about those who lost their lives in service of their country as well as visiting Chippenham's War Memorial. In all the distance to be walked by our Young People will be around 7 miles.

This walk was due to take place on the 15th May 2021 and will coincide with the Centenary of the Royal British Legion.

If you would like to sponsor one of those who are walking please feel free to donate through this JustGiving site. As a Royal British Legion Affiliated Unit we are proud to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Royal British Legion in what we hope you will consider to be a fitting way, by remembering those who lost their lives and raising money for those who have served who are now in need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
