Wearing a poppy, taking part in fundraising, or attending a local Remembrance event, shows our Armed Forces community, past and present, that their service and sacrifice is valued by us all.
Remember the sacrifices our Armed Forces make and the fact that they are willing to risk everything to protect us, despite having never met us. The funds raised during the Poppy Appeal means that we can continue our vital work supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families.
There are many resources available from the Royal British Legion.
If you require resources such as activities, Images or The Last post and much more please contact the Membership Engagement Officer. jhepworth@britishlegion.org.uk
There is also a power point presentation available.
