Every year Bedford Congress Hall have had a Christmas Card Board in the hall for members of the corps family to 'send' a Christmas Card and message to everyone else in the corps family and, at the same time, raise money for a nominated cause. The idea is that instead of sending Christmas cards to each individual, you send a group card to everyone and the money you save in purchasing the cards and posting them is donated to the cause for that year.
In 2018 we sent money to Indonesia to help with The Salvation Army's tsunami appeal after a devastating tsunami hit that country. This picture shows Kevin Sandford and the Officers of the corps where there was so much devastation.
