The Poppy Appeal in Worcestershire

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

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

In 2008, Worcestershire raised £443,547 and hopes to improve this for 2009 (financial year calculated from Oct to Sep). 

Poppy People

We always need new volunteers - Poppy People - to assist with Poppy Appeal collecting in Worcestershire. 

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

And we urgently need to recruit more people as many of our current volunteers are retiring from active duty. Add to this the ever increasing demand on the Legion's services and you can see we need your help more than ever.    

We are fortunate to have two County Poppy Appeal Co-ordinators, one covering the North of the County and the other the South. Please contact Poppy Appeal Coordinator if you are interested in helping in any way at all.
