What an amazing result! Westhoughton's contribution to that is just short of £32,000 !!!! Well done!!! We have some amazing volunteers!!

We are pleased to announce that we have received an update from RBL & our current Poppy Appeal total stands at £31942.26!!!!!

Amazing! Thank you to all who supported the appeal.

We're starting to think about the appeal and are looking for volunteers who might knit or crochet Poppy's to donate for selling for the Westhoughton Appeal this year. Please get in touch on [email protected] if you are able to help.

We know everyone's eager to find out how much we have raised in Westhoughton for the Poppy Appeal and its been busy at Poppy HQ we're pleased to announced that the current total is at £28,500, we do still have a little more counting to do and are still confirming some of the payments that come in by BACS etc so this figure will change slightly but we just wanted to say a massive thank you to all our supports and volunteers - this wouldn't be possible without you!

In Westhoughton over the last 3 years we've raised just over £80,000 which is an amazing amount!

Now that most of the collections, counting and sorting of boxes has been done we're going to have a little break and hopefully in the New Year we'll be able to give a final total for 2025.

and that's it for Supermarkets this Poppy Appeal! Thanks to Sue & Rishi who did the late shift at Sainsbury's!

It's not the end for us at Poppy HQ we've lots to do before we can say Poppy Appeal 2025 is complete but we want to thank all our volunteers & supporters, Westhoughton is an amazing place to live & with such a community feel.

We hope to see you at the Remembrance Day Parade tomorrow!

If you've not managed to get a poppy yet don't forget that they are in lots of businesses like pubs & late shops so there's still time yet. The Bank & The Beer School will be open early tomorrow if you need to get a Poppy on your way to the Parade!





I'm off for a wine & chill before the busy day tomorrow!

You may have noticed that the Tommy Soldier statue has gone up next to the War Memorial last week but has also got a new friend, Im calling her Tina! Thanks to Mark & the team at James Industrial Limited who are always supportive in helping to remember our fallen heros and making the area around the War Memorial ao beautiful.

We think the land girl looks great next to Tommy.

Watch out for what will be added next....
