Dear Oakham Town Council,

I wrote yesterday, regarding The Royal British Legion fund raising.

A local person was told there is no longer an Oakham Branch of The Royal British Legion.

They have a passion for supporting the legion and contacted the headquarters in London and were advised they should approach the Stamford Branch.

They did and successfully raised substantial funds by producing cards for sale.

They have seen from councils web site and note the Mayors Charity this year is The Royal British Legion Oakham Branch Welfare Fund.

They are asking me does this mean there is now a resurrected branch of the Royal Oakham British Legion?
If so who are the committee members and how do they contact them.

Can we also provide information about the welfare fund and details of who manages this fund and the registered charity number please.
