Join the Poppy Team - They need you!

The Poppy Appeal is one of the nation's most recognised and supported charity appeals. Every year The Royal British Legion sends out millions of poppies that are distributed to schools, shops and businesses. In November you will see some of the charity's voluntary collectors in your local town centre or supermarket with their tray of poppies.

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.

Poppy People

The Royal British Legion is always in need of new volunteers to become Poppy People and assist with Poppy Appeal collections across Greater Manchester.

Without dedicated appeal organisers, planning the appeal at local level and our volunteer collectors, the Appeal, which helps thousands of ex-Service men and women every year, would never be the success it is!

We always need more people to come forward. Becoming a Poppy Person can be both rewarding and fun.  You can collect in your work place, college, university, amongst your family and friends or even join with others at a local collection point - the choice is yours!

If you'd like to help with any aspect of the Poppy Appeal in your area, please contact the Royal British Legion's helpline on 0808 802 8080.  It's open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm.
