George Bradford raises funds for Queen Elizabeth Court

GEORGE’S FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN CAPTURES TOMMY CLUB HEARTS

Last year before the pandemic hit, 90-yearold resident, George started a fundraising committee to expand the lounge and social space. Thanks to you, our Tommy Club Champions, the work can now commence!

THE NEED FOR SOCIAL SPACES

Queen Elizabeth Court (QEC) is RBLI’s vibrant assisted living scheme for people who have served in the Armed Forces and their spouses.

Before Covid-19 restrictions, George Bradford, who is a resident of QEC and his fellow committee members led collections, appeals and events to help raise funds to expand the lounge and social space.

Their cause took on even more importance when lockdown restrictions were introduced. The existing space doesn’t allow for social distancing, which has been particularly tough for older veterans, who are used to being able to socialise, eat meals, and take part in mobility, fitness or craft sessions together.

GREAT NEWS...

We are delighted to announce that thanks to your support, the Queen Elizabeth Court lounge expansion is ready to start as soon as restrictions allow!

QEC resident and fundraiser, George Bradford, is a former Royal marine and a Founding Patron of the Tommy Club

CHARLES BOYER’S LEGACY

Charles first moved to Queen Elizabeth Court in 2017 and within just a few short years, Charles established himself as one of the village’s most loved residents. Charles has left a lasting legacy at RBLI, recognising an upcoming project at Queen Elizabeth Court.

He will be sorely missed by his family and RBLI.
