The Poppy Appeal in Blakedown & Hagley
The Poppy Appeal in Hagley and Blakedown continues to run successfully albeit with a slight reduction in 2022. Following the retirement of our previous Poppy Appeal Organiser due to ill health, we are running the appeal on a team basis.
The totals for 2022 so far are £7,683 for Hagley and £1,667 for Blakedown, a total of £9,350 for our area. The National total is £47,701.211. Click here for a summary of those donations.

The minimum age to collect on behalf of the charity is 16 years, although younger helpers are more than welcome accompanied by an adult.
If you are free to help, especially on our stall in Hagley during Remembrancetide, we would warmly welcome you to our brilliant band of supporters. No experience necessary - full training given - and you will be with someone who has helped us before on the stall. Please drop an email to our organiser, Alan Kelly on
