We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the British Consulate in Bilbao, the British Council School Madrid, the British Embassy Madrid, the British Ladies Association, Numont School Madrid, International School Madrid, King’s College Soto de Viñuelas, King’s College School La Moraleja, King’s College Infants La Moraleja, Runnymede College, St George’s Anglican Church Madrid, Saint George’s Guild, The Secret Kingdoms, and Torrejon Airbase for their unwavering support of the Royal British Legion and the Remembrance Campaign.
We also express our appreciation to Booksellers, the British Cemetery, the British Council in Somosaguas, Cardo & Olivo, Do Spain, 1st Madrid British Scouts, 1st Majadahonda Scouts, Our Lady of Mercy Church, Thames British School Madrid, and Universidad Juan Carlos Ⅰ for their collaboration with the Royal British Legion in our inaugural year. We look forward to fostering more partnerships in the future.
A special thanks to Saint George’s Church for consistently providing us with a table at their fairs and bazaars. We also extend our gratitude to the British Ladies Association for their generous donation of €500 from the proceeds of their Christmas Bazaar.
