So, for one night only, the incredible Colin Thackery is performing. He'll be singing some of his favourite "golden oldies", chatting about his time in the forces and informing us what it's like to be a Chelsea Pensioner.

In-between his singing and storytelling, there will be some fundraising activities to take part in. There will be a raffle, baked goods stall, photo opportunities with Colin himself, member made nick-nacks to purchase, and an auction. There will also be two of our lovely members telling their inspirational stories about how they became injured, and overcoming adversity. A chip butty is also thrown in for good measure too.

Please see the attached flyer regarding this special one off fundraising event but in summary:
