RAF Honington hold coffee morning with a difference for armed forces charity

RAF Honington held a 'drive thru' coffee morning to support SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity on October 1.

Personnel were able to pre-order their choice of cake or scone selection box via a QR code made available through social media and SSAFA Suffolk kindly loaned the event its card reader allowing contactless donations.

All together £369.10 was raised. RAF Honington's committee, recognising that charities are experiencing a downturn in fundraising, and in lieu of very few expenses being incurred this year, unanimously voted to donate these funds to SSAFA Suffolk, increasing the donation to £1,000.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has provided lifelong support to the forces and their families since 1885.
