ABOVE AND BEYOND
A huge thanks must go out to Brad and Freya at SureStore Self-Storage in Southport, who have helped Southport Branch so much during the build up to the Poppy Appeal.

Whether it has been receiving merchandise deliveries when it's arrived early, helping our older volunteers get the product into storage or just providing advice and guidance to those who haven't visited the facility before, their kindness and patience has meant a great deal. Thank you guys.
