The Poppy Appeal

2024 Poppy Appeal

 

The RBL has been dependent on the goodwill and support of the public since 1921, to ensure we can provide the essential welfare services needed by our beneficiaries. It is thanks to the time given
by our fundraisers and volunteers and the donations of our supporters that the vital work of the RBL can continue.

In Fleet, Crookham & District, the 2024 Appeal will be run Saturday 26th October until Monday 11th November.

Apart from residents' generosity, we also rely heavily on volunteer Poppy Appeal Collectors who give their time to collect door-to-door or at one of our collection sites - Thank You.

The Branch is always looking for volunteers to assist with collections.  Collection sites include:

  • Fleet Train Station
