British Legion Poppy Appeal

The British Legion Poppy Appeal is a charitable campaign organized by the Royal British Legion to honor and support current and former servicemen and women who served in the armed forces. Each year, people wear poppies—bright red flowers—as a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in conflicts. Funds raised through the appeal help provide practical support, financial aid, and rehabilitation services to veterans and their families. The initiative fosters national gratitude and awareness of military sacrifices, ensuring their sacrifices are remembered and valued by society.
