Eastbourne Poppy Appeal 2025 
A record Breaking Success

The 2025 Poppy Appeal has once again been a tremendous success across the country, with the national target of £50 million being surpassed, much to the delight of everyone involved.

Here in Eastbourne, the two and a half weeks of the appeal were filled with generosity, community spirit, and many memorable moments. As always, the people of Eastbourne gave generously, supporting the appeal with enthusiasm and kindness that makes us all proud to be part of this important act of Remembrance.

Thanks to the incredible dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of the local community, we are delighted to announce that the Eastbourne Poppy Appeal 2025 raised an outstanding total of £123,000.

This total includes collections from supermarkets, shopping centres, schools, pubs and clubs, churches, shops, and many individual fundraising efforts across the town.

This is an achievement never before witnessed in Eastbourne, and it would not have been possible without the hard work of our volunteers and the support of the community.

On behalf of the Poppy Appeal, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, or supported the appeal in any way. Your generosity helps provide vital support to veterans and serving members of our Armed Forces and ensures that the act of Remembrance remains strong in our community.
