Every year during the Poppy Appeal, our volunteers cover as many areas as possible, collecting on the streets, in shopping centres and at stations.
However, this year, as a result of COVID-19, many of our volunteers are understandably unable to assist, and reduced footfall in these areas means that our Poppy Appeal income is at risk.
The Royal British Legion is asking everyone to support the Poppy Appeal, but to take part in remembrance remotely.
** Please note that for text donations, the systems will charge you either £2, £5, or £10 (plus one message at your standard network rate). The Royal British Legion will receive 97% and will contact you by text on the mobile number you used to give you the opportunity about how you would like to be contacted in the future, and to find out whether you would like to add Gift Aid to your donation.
The Royal British Legion is a Registered Charity No 219279
For smartphone users, please use the new QR code.
If you prefer, please make a cheque payable to ‘The Royal British Legion’
Or call the Royal British Legion fundraising support team freephone number0845 845 1945 to donate by phone
There is a printable poppy, which you can download to display in your window.
Either download and print off a colour version or the version to colour in yourself.
The Royal British Legion simply asks for a small donation.
A free fundraising pack is also available.

Due to COVID there will be no traditional door-to door collections anywhere.
However, there will be a tray of traditional poppies in Newmarket Town Council
We are committed to supporting our Armed Forces community in England. Every Poppy Counts!
