Walsall Wood Remembrance Parade and Service are always well attended. Image from the Parade Appeal Facebook page.
Here’s a very important appeal from Lee Bragginton of the 1st Walsall Wood Scout Group, who like all other folks involved with local Remembrance pParades, is appealing for help and donations so the Walsall Wood Parade can take place this year.
Options are available for individual donations online or by post, and Lee is also interested in any businesses locally who may be able to assist with sponsorship or other means.
Walsall Wood is unique in the area in being the only afternoon parade and one of the few that has no associated British Legion help.
The rights and wrongs of the current situation have been gone over many times, but we are where we are and donations are required. For my take on this situation, see this post and those linked from it.

Like other parades in the Walsall Borough, Walsall Wood parade needs to raise funds in order to continue in it’s traditional format.
Unlike other parades however, we have no Royal British Legion involvement in our parade and it is organised and funded by the youth organisations themselves.
We welcome any contact from any local businesses, organisations and individuals who may be willing to support our cause in any way.
See details of how to help below.
We will be holding a joint youth organisation fundraising car wash later in the year towards the parade. Details will follow.
Thanks

It’s not a huge event, but small, intimate and very community focused. . Image from the Parade Appeal Facebook page.
