THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT.
2022 Poppy Appeal:
The last 2 years has been extremely difficult for ALL UK Charities, the majority of monies normally collected rely on members of the public making cash donations in a number of ways, but COVID-19 and the restrictions we were forced to endure hit our income very hard, as well as the income of all UK Charities.
It was so good to be able to get out there collecting again for our Charity
I would like to personally thank all those who helped us make it a really successful period....Service personnel, staff and residents at RAF Wyton, our local Schools, management, staff and customers at Morrison Supermarket, Waitrose Supermarket and Wetherspoon (Swan & Angel). Special thanks goes out to our loyal Branch Members out there collecting through these very difficult times !!
I have been the Poppy Appeal Organiser in St Ives for the last 14 years, but this year will be my last even though I will remain closely linked to our Branch.
