Royal British Legion, Stoke Gifford Branch – Appeal for Additional Volunteers
October 6th, 2023
The Stoke Gifford Branch of the Royal British Legion, (RBL), are hoping to have another successful Poppy Appeal this year.
The Branch would like to thank the public, branch members and volunteers, businesses and other organisations for their help and generosity throughout the Appeal. And of course thank you to the great local media who do so much to help us raise so much money and help us raise the profile of our welfare work so we can reach more people who need our help.
The branch would love to repeat its previous successes for the 2022/23 Poppy Appeal.
The money raised for the Poppy Appeal goes to the RBL’s Welfare Fund, which is used to give help and support to current and ex service personnel and their families.
The branch puts Poppies and collecting tins around the area in Shops, Businesses and UWE. And it puts tables with poppies and collecting tins in larger stores, but it needs more volunteers to man these stalls during the Poppy Fortnight from 28th October until Remembrance Sunday in November.
If you are able to volunteer for the branch as a collector during the “Poppy Fortnight” between 28th October to November 11th we would love to hear from you!
