Here’s an idea
Why not get together with other members of your community and join forces to raise funds for The Royal British Legion?
For Leaders
The RBL website is a great source of information including the contact details for your local community fund-raiser. You’ll need to contact them to let them know what you’re doing.
Did You Know
The poppy has been used as a symbol of Remembrance since 1921 and was inspired by the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’.
Why
Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community, those currently serving, veterans and their families. They are sold by The Royal British Legion to raise funds to support their work providing lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.
