The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2025 is here and they need your support more than ever.

Wearing a poppy is a personal choice, and there’s no ‘right’ way to wear a poppy – just wear it with pride.

From risking their lives in war zones to supporting during humanitarian disasters, we owe those who serve in the Armed Forces our gratitude.

Wearing a poppy sends a personal message of thanks and support for them to see.

Collection boxes have now been placed in the Taberbacle Hall, Keltybridge, and in the Cleish Village Hall where you can donate and collect your poppy badge.
