Upchurch Poppy Appeal - 2018

At the end of last year I reported on this Appeal. I am now able to tell you that the amount donated within Upchurch was £3,131. I will say again thank you, on behalf of the Royal British Legion, for your generous contributions to last year’s appeal.

The years 2014-18 marked the centenary of World War I from its start to the armistice being signed. Many centenary events were planned during the recent last four years at National and equally importantly at local level. This all culminated with the ‘Battles Over’ events throughout the Nation. The Royal British Legion produced in each year of the centenary poppy pin badges which were dated 1914–2014, 1915-2015, 1916-2016, 1917-2017, 1918-2018. If anyone would like a set of these five pin badges I am able to supply them for a minimum donation to the Royal British Legion of £15.

I have now been associated with the Poppy Appeal in Upchurch for more than 25 years and would appreciate a break. If you are interested in becoming the next Poppy Appeal Organiser in Upchurch please contact me and I can explain what this voluntary task entails.
