Durham PRA has made its latest donation to a charitable cause, namely the Regiments Afghan fund. This donation was to the tune of £350 and was raised during our latest trip to Arnhem and by some collection boxes placed in some busy local public houses. Now £350 might not seem a huge amount of money but if each of the PRA's Branches raised similar amounts then this would amount to over £30 000! Of course the other branches do raise money also but lets keep the smaller amounts coming in, particularly as both 2 & 3 Para are getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan once more.
To all those that contributed thank you and to those who rattled the tins well done!
The amount collected was well over 400 pounds Sterling. A cheque for 395 pounds was posted and a further 52 euros in small denomination coins was sent to the afghanistantrust. Collections are ongoing.
