£5 will ensure that a housebound or hospitalised person receives a one hour friendship visit.

£20 would contribute towards an emergency grant to provide essentials like food, fuel, clothing or bedding to an ex-Service person struggling to survive.

£30 could help towards providing skilled advice and an hour's representative for a person at a Disability Allowance or War/Disablement Pension tribunal.

£65 will help us to kit out a Reminiscence Room in the new Dementia Unit at Galanos House. This is where each resident's life history can be enhanced instead of forgotten. 

£150 will mean the Legion can help more ex-Service men and women train for new careers when they leave the Armed Forces.

Welfare helper and a client£250 could buy an emergency lifeline alarm for an elderly person.

£800 could provide a severely disabled person and their carer with a much needed welfare break.
