Help Jesmond Royal British Legion Club
Donation protected
Jesmond Royal British Legion Club (Newcastle Central Branch) has been at the heart of our community for almost 50 years. It is both a hub for the local community and a much needed social environment for our serving military and veterans. We are a Non Profit Organisation and Mutual Society that relies on donations, membership fees and takings from the Club.
The emerging situation with CoronaVirus has had an immediate and significant impact on our income and the viability of the Club is now threatened. The vast majority of our members and visitors are elderly, and are following the official government advice for those over 70 or with underlying health conditions to self isolate. Further, now the government has recommended people to avoid public places such as bars and clubs, we have seen every event cancelled at the club which are the primary source of our income. As a result, the future of the club in now in jeopardy and we fear having to close our doors permanently.
We are asking that anyone who is a position to help financially support the Club during these challenging times to please make a donation here or at the Club. It is a vital and much loved social space for our local community and veterans. For many of our older members, it is their only social environment. We urgently need to funds to cover upcoming bills and staff wages so the Club can remain open. Please consider us with empathy and know as I am writing this my heart is sinking.
