Each year we make a contribution to the Mayor’s Charity Appeal. A cheque was presented to the Mayor at the Annual Dinner. The beneficiary of this year’s Appeal is Finchale Training College which is increasingly involved in the vocational rehabilitation of former service personnel.
The Mayor was especially appreciative of our donation and invited us to a press publicity event where the work of the College was brought into focus through the retraining of former Commando David Evans who served in Kosovo, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq before leaving the Army in February.
