Six Royal British Legion branches, including one in Burscough, have each received a £500 boost from six McCarthy Stone developments across the Northwest, in recognition of the charity’s outstanding contribution to the Armed Forces community. 

Totaling £3,000, the money will help the charity continue to provide financial, social, and emotional care to all serving and retired members of the Armed Forces, and their families. 

Alan Whitmore, Poppy Appeal Manager for the Royal British Legion (RBL), comments: “The Royal British Legion would like to thank the whole team at McCarthy Stone for this generous donation. The RBL is at the heart of a national network supporting the Armed Forces community, and this donation will allow us to continue helping serving and ex-serving personnel and their families in Burscough and across the northwest.”

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “An important part of what we do here at McCarthy Stone is support local activities and initiatives in the towns and communities in which we build to help create a lasting, positive legacy. Therefore, we’re delighted to lend our support to the Royal British Legion, which does a fantastic job of supporting the Armed Forces community in Burscough and beyond.”
