This year marks the centenary of the start of World War One.
The Royal British Legion was formed in 1921 to be a voice for the ex-Service community. Today the Royal British Legion helps the whole Armed Forces community through welfare, comradeship and representation as well as being the Nation's custodian of Remembrance.
The Poppy Appeal, the Royal British Legion's annual national fundraising event, this year will take place between 25th October to 8th November with Remembrance Sunday being 9th November.
During this time a team of volunteer house-to house collectors will call at every home in Upchurch and collecting boxes will also be found in all of the shops, public houses etc. Residents of Beckenham Park can get Poppies from the site office.
Please give generously as the need continues with our armed forces being killed or injured abroad.
