Sharon Taylor, the Labour and Cooperative Party Candidate for Stevenage at the next General Election has pledged to do her bit for the British Armed Forces family.

Sharon has made the pledge on The Royal British Legion's campaign website, www.timetodoyourbit.org.uk

The website also features the charity's General Election manifesto, which sets out priorities for the next government to improve conditions for Service Personnel and their families, the bereaved, veterans and dependents.

Kevin Shinkwin, the Legion's Head of Public Affairs, said. 'We're really grateful to Sharon for pledging to do her bit. The entire Armed Forces family needs the support of politicians from all parties, and our manifesto outlines the practical ways the next government can help. We hope all the parties will give it serious consideration and that every Prospective Parliamentary Candidate will pledge to do their bit.

Sharon said:

"I am delighted to support The Royal British Legion. They have an important role to play in highlighting the needs of the whole Armed Forces Family. Having been down to the CIU Club on the High Street I am happy to pledge to do my bit and would encourage everyone to visit the website - www.timetodoyourbit.org.uk to find out how they can get involved in the campaign.
