News and NotesNew Photo Galleries
Ken Kemp in 227 Pro Coy with BETFOR has kindly given us a collection of photographs from his time in Trieste. They are now online as new Photo Galleries for and of the 227 Pro Coy RMP. The BETFOR Association: Status of OperationsIt had been decided by the Committee of this Association that the surplus funds could most properly be donated toward the comfort and support of wounded servicemen at the Defence Services Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DSMRC) Headley Court. Their external support is largely derived through the Registered Charity Help for Heroes. The interaction between these two organisations has been discussed both on this website and in its Message Board. The following is a transcription of the acknowledgement letter received from Help for Heroes with reference to our distribution of funds to that worthy charity. The quality of the letter image presented to this writer was not adequate for placement on our website.
Help for Heroes
Support for our Wounded
Re donation :-
In Memory of the Late Mr Jim Crow
and the Betfor Association 22nd February 2008
Help for Heroes gratefully acknowledges The Betfor Association's
generous donation of £5000.00 It is very much appreciated and we
will ensure that it is used to directly support our wounded.
As a new charity run on a largely voluntary basis with most of our
overheads covered by sponsorship, we ensure that your donations go
toward the cause rather than into administrative overheads.
Thank you so much for your donation, it is greatly needed and
appreciated.
Thumbs Up !
Yours sincerely
