The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2008.
This year's Remembrance Sunday is on Sunday 9 November. Collectors will start house- to-house collections from Saturday 25 October through to Saturday 8 November.
The residents of Wrington, Redhill, Butcombe and Aldwick last year raised the fantastic amount of £3265-34.
Thanks to everyone who so generously contributed, and especially to our collectors, shops, offices and all Static points. Can we possibly achieve this again in 2008?
I know that we will all do our very best. The poppy appeal is the major single source of revenue for The Royal British Legion's Benevolent Fund. Each year more people come
to the Legion for help and the cost of that help is continually increasing.
Daily we see and read of young servicemen and women employed in peacekeeping duties in many parts the world, often in considerable danger, and this means that there will always be a need to provide for them and their dependants, when they themselves no longer can. That is why it is so important that the Legion can continue with its vital work.
