❤️ PLEASE DONATE SAFELY — SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL POPPY APPEAL

We want to ensure that your generosity reaches those who need it most.

Please be aware that if you donate to, or purchase a poppy-related item from, an unofficial seller, website or other location that is not an authorised Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal collection point, there is no guarantee that your money will reach the Royal British Legion or support its vital work.

🌺 Please donate only at official Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal stands or through the official online Poppy Shop:

🌐 https://www.poppyshop.org.uk

Every donation made through official channels helps the Royal British Legion support serving and ex-serving members of the Armed Forces community and their families.

🙋‍♂️ CAN YOU VOLUNTEER?

We are looking for volunteers to support this year’s appeal. The more volunteers we have, the more pop-up stalls we can run and the more people across Blackburn and Darwen can access a poppy.

Whether you can spare a few hours or help regularly, every bit of support makes a difference!

📞 Contact Neil on 07364 133683 to get involved.

❤️ Let’s come together across Blackburn and Darwen to support our Armed Forces community.
