BGVA ANNUAL POPPY COLLECTION 2026

On behalf of the British Gurkha Veterans Association (BGVA), I am pleased to announce that our annual Poppy Collection began on Monday, 26 October 2026, and will continue until Saturday, 7 November 2026.

This annual collection is an important opportunity for BGVA to support the Royal British Legion and its invaluable work supporting serving and former members of the Armed Forces and their families.

🙏 A BIG THANK YOU to all our dedicated volunteers who have given their time and effort to support this important cause. Your commitment, generosity and community spirit are truly appreciated.

I would also like to encourage our BGVA members and the wider community to come forward and support the collection wherever possible.

Together, let us remember, honour and support those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

Thank you all for your continued support.
