Commemorative benches for Andover
Fundraising campaign by

£702.00raised of £600.00 goal goal
Andover Residents have been asking for a bench in town to commemorate the lives of those who served in various conflicts. A loan bench has proved very popular, and residents and local businesses want to help to buy one, or more for the town.
This is a way for the sacrifice of so many to be marked by those who appreciate what has been given on our behalf.

Update posted by Katherine Bird at 09:45 pmIs that two benches I see? I think it is!A very big thank you to the Andover RFC Vets, and Mavericks rugby team, who raised £230 on Saturday to put towards the bench. It was a great match, and an honour to meet so many of the ex-forces team.https://www.facebook.com/groups/andover.rfc.vetshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/278334398953477/Combined with
