People in Hampshire are invited to join residents at McCarthy & Stone’s developments Radford Court in Liphook and Green Haven Court in Cowplain this month to celebrate VE Day 65 years on and help raise vital funds for the Royal British Legion.
The event at Radford Court is taking place on 4th May from 1.00pm to 3.00pm and at Green Haven Court on 7th May from 11.00am to 12.30pm. At both events, a £2 entry fee will be charged and residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a cream tea in support of The Royal British Legion.
Aileen King, sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone South West, comments: “Anyone who lived through the war will remember what they were doing the day it ended and we wanted to join The Royal British Legion in marking the 65th anniversary of VE Day. We hope that our commemorative events will help raise vital funds for the Legion and we welcome anyone who wants to come along and join in the celebrations!”
McCarthy & Stone has this month announced The Royal British Legion as its ‘Charity of the Year’. The charity has been chosen due to the affinity many of McCarthy & Stone’s residents share with the Legion, especially those who have family or friends in the Armed Forces or are veterans themselves.
Over the next 12 months, the retirement developer will hold various on-site events and staff fundraising in order to generate funds vital for the ongoing help and welfare the charity provides to serving and ex-Service communities and their families.
The Royal British Legion will be officially marking the VE Day anniversary on Saturday 8th May with The Nation’s Greatest Ever Salute. For more information, please log on to www.britishlegion.org.uk.
Green Haven Court is an exclusive development of 46 one and two bedroom retirement apartments situated within Cowplain, Waterlooville, just 11 miles from Portsmouth. Radford Court is located in Liphook and comprises just 25 retirement living apartments.
