Double donation made to military charities
The memorial fund received the cash from Savanna Rags International, based in Forest Road, and donated £2,000 from its own reserves to the Royal British Legion’s Nottinghamshire Welfare Benevolent Fund.
Fund chairman Graham Parker said: “The partnership with Savanah Rags works really well for us as charity.
