Sam Tolley - Raising Funds for Poppy Appeal

Well it's been a year since my 100 miler for the RBL and this year my local branch need even more support as we're predicting a deficit in our annual Poppy Appeal fundraising following the closure of our Co-op, which used to facilitate nearly half of our donations due its busy nature. 

With no new supermarket openings looking likely during this Poppy Appeal year, we're looking for more opportunities to maintain our respectable level of support to those in the armed forces community.

The weekly cost of that support is currently running at around £1.6 million and sadly only allows help for the top 500,000 people most in need. 

Half of that figure are below retirement age, partly as a result from the more recent campaigns such as Iraq and Afghanistan
