Poppy Appeal volunteers needed

We always need new volunteers to assist with Poppy Appeal collecting in Leicestershire and Rutland.

Without volunteer collectors out there on the streets, without appeal organisers planning the collections, this great cause - that helps thousands of ex-Service men and women every year - would grind to a halt.

And we urgently need to recruit more people as many of our current volunteers are retiring from active duty. Add to this the ever increasing demand on the Legion's services and you can see we need your help more than ever.  

If you can help - or would like to learn more before making any commitment - please contact your local Poppy Appeal Organiser.
