The Poppy Appeal in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire Poppy Appeal Facebook 
Each year, at the end of October some 30,000 Legion volunteers take to the streets with poppies and collecting boxes, raising millions of pounds for the Poppy Appeal.
The money collected during the Poppy Appeal and from numerous other fundraising activities throughout the year, goes to providing help and support to the men and women and their families of the Armed Forces Community.
The Poppy Appeal Year starts on 1st October to 30th September each year and the street collecting licences are issued by the council for the Poppy Appeal which runs from the last week in October to the end of the remembrance period around the 11th November.
Poppy Appeal Team
We are desperate for new volunteers to Assist the Poppy Appeal Team collecting in Oxfordshire supermarkets.
Without our network of volunteer collectors supporting the Poppy Appeal Organisers we are unable to deliver an Appeal in the towns and villages of Oxfordshire and therefore would be unable to support the Armed Forces Community.
Please contact Yanto Evans, The Poppy Appeal Manager for Oxfordshire at yevans@britishlegion.org.uk if you are interested in joining the team.
