The Poppy Appeal in Greater Manchester

Each year, in November some 30,000 Royal British Legion volunteers take to the streets of Great Britain with poppies and collecting boxes, with the aim of raising millions of pounds for the Poppy Appeal.

The money collected at this time and from numerous other fundraising events held throughout the year, goes to provide both help and support to serving and ex-Service men and women and their dependants.

There are many ways that you can help to raise money for the Poppy Appeal, while also helping to raise awareness within your community and to find out more information please check us out http://www.poppy.org.uk/support-us

Poppy People

The Royal British Legion is always in need of new volunteers to become Poppy People and assist with Poppy Appeal collections across Greater Manchester. 

Without volunteer's out there on the streets, without dedicated appeal organisers planning the collections, this great cause - that helps thousands of ex-Service men and women every year - would grind to a complete halt!

We urgently need more people to come forward and becoming a Poppy Person can be equally rewarding, along with being fun. You can sell them in your work place, college, university; among your family and friends, or even join with others at a local collection point - the choice is yours!     

Please contact our Poppy Appeal Coordinator if you are interested in helping.
