January 2010

During December 2009 Lib/Dem Parliamentary Spokesman Stephen Lloyd asked Sue for permission to write a personal letter about Thank The Forces work, to be included in his Festive Christmas cards and sent out  to the people of Eastbourne and Willingdon.

As a result of the Stephen Lloyds letter of support for Thank The Forces, Eastbourne and Willingdon residents have donated a massive £1,896.00p to the Charity.

On Monday the 18th January 2010 Stephen Lloyd met with Sue to present an equally enormous cheque to Thank The Forces Charity on behalf of the people of Eastbourne and Willingdon.

Stephen Lloyd added
I was absolutely thrilled to hear from Sue how many people from Eastbourne and Willingdon had contributed once they received my Christmas card. Wonderful generosity, from local people giving to such a fantastic cause. It is a privilege to be a supporter of Thank The Forces Charity’

This huge donation will ensure we can continue our good work in support of our Forces Personnel. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the residents of Eastbourne and Willingdon who have given so much despite the downturn in the economy’
