The Poppy Appeal in Wiltshire
The 2012 Poppy Appeal is so far very exciting. Starting
with Remembrance tide fortnight at the beginning of November,
Wiltshire is already showing an increase on the total raised
from the previous year and thanks to all of our wonderful
volunteers, the amount raised to date is 540,220 with another
eight months to go.
There are lots of new fundraising activities happening over the
next few months including oncerts, tea parties, parades,
skydives etc. A full list of dates will be available shortly.
The work of the Royal British Legion, the money raised by the
Poppy Appeal is vital in ensuring that help and support is given to
all our military personnel, current and past and their families. We
send poppies to over 100 countries every year.
Poppy People
We always need new volunteers - Poppy People - to assist with
the Poppy Appeal collecting in Wiltshire. Without volunteers
out there on the streets and without Poppy Appeal Organisers who
coordinate the collections, this great cause would grind to a
halt.
Whether you have a couple of hours or more, we would love to
hear from you.
