THE remarkable Simon Weston CBE is the guest for one very special night organised by Taunton Go Commando.

Following the conclusion of his hugely successful UK tour, My Life My Story, Simon

will tell his own story of events that changed his life forever.

Now a household name, Simon tells it as it is – the highs, the lows and how he set about rebuilding his life following the fateful day he was on board the stricken naval vessel RFA Sir Galahad, destroyed by enemy fire.

The evening is being held as a charity fundraiser for locally based Royal Marines Charity, Go Commando who are about to launch 360 for GC-Because We Care.

This campaign aims to raise £360,000 to create a new Family Community Centre in close proximity to the home of 40 Commando Royal Marines base at Norton Fitzwarren, Taunton.

The facility will not just be available to military families but also the local community and is already gaining great interest and momentum from partner agencies supporting the project.

Just a £360 contribution is all it takes to become a 1/1000th donation Member in the project.
