Royal British Legion

Billingshurst Branch Poppy Appeal collectors wanted

Last year we celebrated 100 years of the Royal British Legion and the return of our Poppy Appeal collectors in the Billingshurst community. The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign, held every year during the period of Remembrance. Thank you to everyone who took part last year, whether through donating or volunteering. Locally in Billingshurst we raised almost £10,000. 100% of the profits from the Poppy Appeal go towards funding the Royal British Legion’s ongoing work in supporting the Armed Forces community, serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.

As well as distributing Poppy collecting tins and boxes to many local establishments, we also rely on local volunteers to help us raise crucial funds by collecting donations (in return for Poppy merchandise) from the public at locations around our village. We will once again have tables at the Billingshurst Railway Station and also Sainsbury’s in the High Street.

We are looking for volunteers to help staff these stalls and have hourly slots from 09.30am till 1.30pm available if you can lend a helping hand. Please contact: Tom Blair, Billingshurst Poppy Appeal Organiser, email: thomasblair19@yahoo.co.uk or mobile: 0792 555 1148
