Firstly, we made a donation of £150 to Calne Heritage Centre, which has been ringfenced for materials to promote the heritage of the town. This would likely include leaflets promoting heritage trails or historical topics about the town.
In addition to this we made a donation of £176.32 to the Calne Branch of the Royal British Legion. This was to purchase VE Day 80 pin badges (as seen in the photograph). Some were sold to raise funds to continue to support those that have served and promote the history of the importance of those that have served in the town, such as by displays and exhibitions in the town. Pin badges were also given to those that attended the VE Day Celebration Lunch for residents over 80 and their invited guests, which will serve as a memento of the event and the Victory in Europe on 7 May 1945.
