The Stoke Gifford Branch of the Royal British Legion, (RBL), are having another good year with the Poppy Appeal. This year, (2018 / 2019), to date we have raised over £50,000 for the Poppy Appeal, which runs from the 1st of October 2018 to 30th September 2019.
The Branch would like to thank the public, branch members and volunteers, businesses and other organisations for their help and generosity throughout the Appeal. And of course thank you to the great local media who do so much to help us raise so much money and help us raise the profile of our welfare work so we can reach more people who need our help.
The branch would love to repeat its success for the 2019/2020 Poppy Appeal year beginning on 1st October 2019. The money raised for the Poppy Appeal goes to the RBL's Welfare Fund, which is used to give help and support to current and ex service personnel and their families.
The branch puts Poppies and collecting tins around the area in Shops, Businesses and UWE. And it puts tables with poppies and collecting tins in larger stores, but it needs more volunteers to man these stalls during the Poppy Fortnight from 26th October until Remembrance Sunday in November.
If you would like to volunteer for the branch as a collector during the "Poppy Fortnight" between 26th October to November 10th we would love to hear from you! To volunteer at the different venues please contact: -
