We are joining a community of fellow fundraisers across the UK raising funds to support the Royal British Legion.

On Wednesday 11 November, Hymers College will hold its annual Service of Remembrance. A number of Old Hymerians will be joining us as the school community gathers for this important time of reflection and the formal laying of wreaths in the Memorial Hall. During our service we call to mind the sacrifice of the 207 Old Hymerians who lost their lives in the World Wars of the 20th century and whose names are recorded on the school's war memorial. It is a significant moment in the annual calendar which connects current pupils and staff of the school with the generations who came before us.

We very much want to support the excellent work of the Royal British Legion, by way of donations from the Hymers community. As it happens, the current President of the Royal British Legion, Paul Bennett, is an Old Hymerian.

The Royal British Legion was founded to help those in need following a national crisis. They are working tirelessly to ensure that those who have served are being looked after no matter what challenges they, and the country faces.

Your donation shows you care. And helps the Royal British Legion to continue its vital work. Thank You.
