Local fundraisers thanked by SSAFA

13 October 2023

Colsterworth Festival of Remembrance (CFoR) raise money each year for local charities. This year, SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, was the grateful recipient of an £800 donation.

CFoR chair, Capt David Heath French, presented a cheque to his brother, Richard French, SSAFA Regional Fundraising Officer, for £800 outside the village War Memorial, which the CFoR previously campaigned to maintain.

Richard French said: “SSAFA is delighted to accept this donation from the Colsterworth Festival of Remembrance as this money will go towards providing lifelong support to serving men and women and veterans from the British Armed Forces and their families or dependents.”
