At 158 Squadron we regularly help the local charities in and around Braintree, for which we receive great praise and the knowledge that we have helped these charities carry out their fundraising events.

Some of the charities we help out and the way we have helped are: marshalling and setting up the Race for Life at Notely, car parking at the RSPCA open day at Wethersfield, collecting for the Poppy Appeal (where we normally collect hundreds of pounds) and many more.

Even though we have to work in all weathers at such events we always have a lot of fun and normally get to raise the profile of the Squadron.
