This year’s appeal is taking place during Remembrance Tide which this year is from 24th October to 7th November.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Royal British Legion will not permit or support house to house collections and so there will be no one calling at your house for donations this year.
Nevertheless, poppies and dated poppy pins will be available from the Upchurch shops, public houses, clubs and restaurants who have agreed to participate. The school has also been given a pack for the benefit of the students and staff.
This year for the first time, donations can be made using your mobile telephone.
If you would like to download a poppy for a donation then this can be done using the following link: www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/ways-to-give/donate Poppies printed this way are excellent for displaying in your windows especially the ones you can colour in yourselves.
I am able to supply from the stock I hold - poppies, dated poppy pins, VE poppy pins, wooden crosses, car poppies and wrist bands etc. Please contact me to see how I can help
The impact of the coronavirus has impacted heavily on the veterans of the Armed Forces and their dependents who rely on welfare support and care from the Royal British Legion. So the need for help goes on during these difficult times.
