NEW recruits are being sought for a district branch of the Royal British Legion.

Willington and Crook branch is looking for new recruits to join the team. The branch aims to provide welfare support to ex-service men and women and each year takes responsibility for selling poppies in aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy appeal.

The group also helps organise Remembrance Sunday services across the district.

Members meet every month and membership is open to men and women of all ages, new members need not be ex-services.
