Poppy Appeal 2017

What is The Poppy Appeal?

The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign held every year in November, the period of Remembrance.

Each year, an army of volunteers distribute the British Legion's iconic paper poppies throughout the nation, collecting donations in return to help support the vital work we do for the Armed Forces community.

Members of the public wear the paper poppy on their chest as a symbol of Remembrance: to remember the fallen Service men and women killed in conflict.

A number of Remembrance events, such as Remembrance Sunday, are held during the Poppy Appeal to commemorate the fallen.

Don't forget to find out where your nearest service is and take your little ones along to continue learning all about the brave soldiers who fought for us.
