Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2007

Posted on October 13, 2007

Our house to house collectors will be making their rounds between 27th October and 10th November and once again we are asking that you give as generously as you can to help the Legion as it works tirelessly to help ex-servicemen and women who have encountered difficult times and hardship.

Without the Legion and without your help many would be in dire straits. One ex-serviceman who had been supported by the Legion summed up the help he had been given with these words. He said "The help I have been given has enabled me to stop looking back with sadness and encouraged me to look forward with hope."

For a variety of reasons several of our long serving house to house collectors are no longer able to help so we have a need for volunteers willing to give a little time during the dates mentioned above to this deserving cause. Jean organises the list and would be delighted to hear from anyone able to help. House to house collections are an important aspect of the appeal both financially and in keeping us all aware of the Legion's valuable work.

It takes only a little time to make a real difference to the life of someone in real need. Thank you, Keith and Jean Stanley.
