Hello everyone! I'm Alison and I'm one of the volunteers with the Royal British Legion Armed Forces Community Hub Southport. Did you know that we do not receive ANY funds from Head Office to help with the day-to-day costs of running our fantastic Hub? So that's all the not-very-sexy stuff such as electric, water, rent, insurance that has to be found from fundraising.

So, in February 2026, I'm taking on the MALTA MARATHON to raise money towards our routine costs. This will be a 26.2 mile run from Mdina in the centre of the island, wending our way north via Valletta to finish in Sliema and all to be done within a 5 hour timeframe!

We need about £600 per month to pay for the dull stuff so the more I raise, the more money that can then go towards helping the veterans and their families that need our help.

***Within our Community Hub, our volunteers offer front line support to the Armed Forces Community which range from a simple cuppa to more in-depth support such as mental health, financial support and through illness and/or injury.***

We are entirely reliant on volunteers who give their time, energy and patience to help those who need us. This is my way of easing the burden of the admin and allowing more focus on the important stuff within our Community.

Thank you ~~Alison
