The Poppy Appeal in Stonehouse
The 2026 Poppy Appeal has launched and our collectors are in top gear raising money for this wonderful cause.
Alastair McKechnie, better known as Al has picked up the baton as Poppy Appeal Organiser for Stonehouse, putting his organisational skills into full effect and always needs volunteers.
Please contact Al at [email protected]
The 2025 appeal in Stonehouse raised a record £24,044.42 before any Gift Aid donations have been counted.
The total includes:
£16,000 raised by our collectors at Gloucester M5 Services
£780 collected by Wycliffe CCF Cadets
£538 collected by Stonehouse Army Cadets
£543 collected by Wycliffe College
Donations to the Poppy Appeal go 100% to the Royal British Legion, in support of the Armed Forces Family, which not only includes veterans and their families, but serving members and their families too.
The RBL has been able to fund Recovery Centres to help those badly injured back to health- like the Battle Back Centre, founded in 2011 to support wounded and injured service personnel who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There are 7 care homes around the UK for veterans, run by the Royal British Legion.
We are ALWAYS looking for Poppy Appeal volunteers
