The 2010
Poppy Appeal has raised a staggering £36 million, reaching its
target and smashing all previous records
The figure is over £1 million up on the year
before, showing the nation's heartfelt support for our brave Armed
Forces through the annual Poppy Appeal.
The number of poppies distributed during the last Poppy Appeal also
rose to an incredible 45 million, up 3 million on the previous
year. This figure does not include wreaths and other Poppy
items.
The Legion's Director of Fundraising Russell Thompson OBE said:
"Each year the Legion is overwhelmed at the amount of public
support for the Appeal. People are genuinely humbled by the job our
Armed Forces do for the nation every single day, and donating for a
Poppy is the nation's way or giving something back to them."
Mr Thompson thanked the army of 350,000 volunteers nationwide who
collect for the Poppy Appeal, rain or shine. "Without our legion of
collectors, we would not be able to raise the vital funding we need
to care for the Armed Forces family day in, day out. In recent
years, we have seen a new generation of volunteers out collecting,
no doubt moved by the involvement of British Armed Forces in
current conflicts."
