Donation to Charities
Wessex Vale Crematorium was honoured to be invited to the British Legion George Osbourne Legacy event where over £8000 was donated in honour of a ‘hero’ WW2 solider.
The event which was held at the working men’s club in Eastleigh took place on the 2nd December 2019.
During the event Lisa Johnson Manager at Wessex Vale Crematorium presented a total of £6,000 which was split between the following charities: The Royal British Legion, The Royal Airforce Association, The Southampton Veterans Drop In Centre and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association.
The money which was donated was raised from the Crematorium Metal Recycling Scheme .
A letter recently received from SSAFA by the crematorium stated:
"A much belated thank you for your incredibly kind donation of £1,500.00 to the Hampshire Branch of SSAFA the Armed Forces charity received last Monday evening in Eastleigh. It was lovely to meet Lisa and it was fantastic to see 3 other charities benefit as we did. The money for SSAFA will be put to immediate use to help those from the Military Family most in need on the way to regaining their independence and dignity”.
