For Residents and staff at the Gavin Astor House Nursing Home in the Royal British Legion Village in Aylesford, Kent, were last week delighted to receive a new ambulance donated by the Royal British Legion Attendants Company Trust (RBLAT).
The purpose-built care home, which opened in 1993 and is owned by Royal
British Legion Industries (RBLI), offers 24 hour residential nursing
care for up to 50
ex service men and women and the new ambulance will provide much appreciated
transport for its residents.
The ambulance was presented to RBLI chief executive John Quin by RBLAT
chairman David Switzer. Also attending the presentation was Daniel
Atkinson, Legion Group’s Managing
Director. Legion Group plc is the trading arm of the RBLAT, a registered
charity with the objective of assisting the rehabilitation and resettlement
of ex servicemen
and women into civilian life, and profits from Legion Group go directly to
the charity. Over the last eight years we are proud to have remitted
more than £400K
from our operational profits to the RBLA to support the organisation in its
charitable objectives.
