******************************
About the Poppy Appeal

The Poppy Appeal is our flagship campaign
held every year in October and November.

Founded in 1921, the Appeal raises funds for the Royal British Legion’s
vital work supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families
throughout their lives with whatever the need, whenever it’s needed.  

Our support for those in need is made possible by the generous donations
of the public plus the 60,000 Poppy Appeal collectors and volunteers who
dedicate their time each year to helping fundraise across the country.   

In 2026 poppies will be available from 22nd October at local supermarkets,
high street shops, train stations or online at our Poppy Shop.  

The simple act of wearing a poppy sends a personal message of thanks and support
for the Armed Forces community to see.  We ask the public not to underestimate
the impact that wearing a poppy has on those who serve and their families.
