Most properties have received a reminder more than once. “I think the result is pretty good considering the campaign has been run when we couldn’t meet local residents to explain the purpose of our mission. “We couldn’t shake hands,” she says. At the outset, she didn’t hold out much hope for the response to the leaflet drop. “People don’t usually look closely at unsolicited mail that lands on the doormat. They drop it in the bin. I do. “For the response to be as good as it has been under lockdown conditions was very encouraging. We’re continuing the scheme till the end of this year.”
A statue to remember the fallen soldiers of WWI has been put up in two Buckinghamshire towns. The memorial has been erected in Aylesbury and Buckingham respectively, after the housebuilder, Barratt David Wilson Homes, partnered with the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) to encourage residents to remember fallen soldiers from the First World War. In Aylesbury, the housebuilder has installed one of the RBLI’s iconic Tommy Club figures outside the Sales and Marketing Suite in its Orchard Green village at Kingsbrook, with the Buckingham statue being placed at its St Rumbold’s Fields development.

A LIFE-sized silhouette of a Tommy soldier is being proudly displayed at a housing development in Appleton Thorn. It was erected outside David Wilson Homes’ Orchard Meadows development to mark the 76th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, which occurred on May 8. Joint company Barratt and David Wilson Homes is supporting the Royal British Legion with the installation of the silhouettes at sites across Cheshire. The housebuilder donated £100,000 as an acceptance gift and has purchased Tommy Club figures from the legion to help raise money. The Tommy is now a universal symbol of gratitude and commemoration to all those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Harry Kane again sponsors Leyton Orient’s 2021-22 kits

Last season, Harry Kane did something unexpected and extremely cool he sponsored the front of the kits for a League Two club. Leyton Orient was one of the first clubs to take a chance on Kane when he went there on loan in 2011, and he never forgot it. This season Orient took the field with three charities chosen by Kane on the fronts of their kits, with proceeds from shirt sales benefitting those charities.
This season he’s doing it again. Orient announced today on their website and social media that Kane has extended his kit sponsorship with new charities, the first one being Tommy Club, a charity run by the Royal British Legion that serves to aid and support “the most vulnerable Armed Forces Veterans.”
