ALL ROUND SUPPORT

MIKE HUGGINS: Entertaining the children as Father Christmas.

THE Royal British Legion (RBL) are there to support its veterans and commu­ nity through thick and thin and the Javea Branch, run by its re­elected chair­ man, 57­year­old Mike Huggins, and his dedicat­ ed committee and branch members, do just that. Last year they raised a whopping €10,128 through its Poppy Appeal and this year a staggering €12.232.96. Thanks go to all the local support and volunteers who help dur­ ing the Poppy appeal, Re­ membrance services and other events. Javea’s RBL offers con­ tinual support to ex­ser­ vice personnel and their dependants but also reaches out to support the wider community. For example, Chairman, Mike, a former Soldier (RRF & RE) looks after the elderly and vulnerable by helping them with any mi­ nor building works need­

ed, offering free labour, just charging for parts. Javea’s RBL also works alongside local charities which offer support in the community, they also do a lot of work for charities and just recently Mike dressed up as Santa Claus to put a smile on chil­ dren’s faces from a local children’s charity. The Javea Branch holds two meetings a month, at Paris 24. On the second Tuesday of the month, a meeting is held to discuss RBL events worldwide and also covers news lo­ cal to Javea and Spain North. On the fourth Tuesday of the month, its members head off for fun whether it be a meal, a social event or even a trip to Ibiza as they did earlier this year. RBL Javea which covers Calpe, Moraira and all the way up to Olivia are al­ ways on the lookout for new members, you don’t

have to be ex­military personnel, but just have the willingness to support the branch community. For more information or if you would like to join email: javea.memsecre tary@rbl.community or call (+34) 711 094 860.
