Last week, we sent out a request to send D-Day Veteran and soon-to-be centenarian Tommy a birthday card, in anticipation of his 100th birthday on February 10th.

Tommy, who has Dementia, has sadly lost a lot of his memories of the War as he has not been able to recount his stories to friends or family due to Lockdown. He was set to celebrate his 100th birthday alone, so Julia Cooper, the owner of Tommy’s favorite pub, the Last Post Remembrance Bar and Don War Memorial Museum, took to social media to call for members of the public to send birthday cards to the Veteran.

There’s still time to send Tommy a card for his birthday. RBLI has created a free, printable birthday card, which can be downloaded using the button below:

The team at Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company are celebrating a successful month this January having completed signs for a housing development, generating record-breaking revenue for the social enterprise.

The housebuilding signs team have completed 6 sites this month in collaboration with close RBLI partner Barratt Developments.

BBMC’s customer Barratt have been quick to show their appreciation for the hard work shown by our team.

Barratt Developments’ Jo Towns said: “Working with RBLI has been a pleasure. Nothing is too much trouble, especially when you run into issues with installing signage ahead of a launch when everyone is feeling the pressure to get everything ready in a short amount of time. “Along with standard signage we have worked on some bespoke artwork projects which have all been very well managed.”

Our amazing supporters have got behind our most recent Tommy 10,000 Step Challenge, raising an incredible amount of money. The progress of Peter Ketley and Neil Young has been documented by Forces TV; Click the video below and skip to the 20 minute mark to check it out!

From all of us at RBLI, we thank you for your support and hope you have a lovely weekend!
