The Royal British Legion presented the Tilbury on the Thames Trust with their certificate of affiliation recently, the only organisation to achieve this, at an event held at the London Cruise Terminal at the Port of Tilbury.
The Trust also received four beautifully made furry mascots – Winston Churchill, Army, Navy and Airforce bears.
Stuart Wallace, Chairman of the Tilbury on the Thames Trust said: “I would like to sincerely thank the Royal British Legion who have been involved in assisting us in getting the trust up and running and being successful in the application for LIBOR funding.
“I am sure that we will continue to build on that as we go forward. The skills that are learned within the armed forces are second to none and we very much hope that the trust can built on these skills and assist people with that transition and into a career that is now so important to the economy of the UK.”
