The Poppy Appeal, the biggest fundraising event held by the RBL, happens every year in the two weeks running up to Remembrance Sunday.
Remembrance Sunday is ALWAYS the second Sunday in November, regardless of what day of the week Armistice Day (11/11) happens to fall on.
If you would like to volunteer to help our Poppy Appeal or find out more about being a Poppy Appeal Volunteer so that we can continue our vital work helping members of the Armed Forces, past and present, and their families, please contact plymouthcity.secretary@rbl.community or view our activity on facebook:

Plymouth District Poppy Appeal Organisers are Needed for 2024.
Sadly there remain a number of Districts in Plymouth which do not have a current Poppy Appeal Organiser. Without a volunteer PAO, there will be no collection in that District or ability to supply shops and other premises with a Collection Box. If you think you would like to take on such a role then please register your interest Poppy Appeal Volunteer and you will be contacted by the Devon Community Fundraiser. Please feel free to chat with us first if you would like to know more about what the role entails and how the Branch can support you: (Plymouthcity.events@RBL.community)
