The Poppy Appeal

The Poppy Appeal is a charitable campaign in the UK, organized by the Royal British Legion, to honor military personnel who have served and sacrificed their lives. During this campaign, people wear paper poppies as symbols of remembrance and respect. Funds raised through the sale of poppies support veterans, active service members, and their families, providing essential services such as healthcare, advice, and community support. The appeal typically runs around Remembrance Day in November, fostering awareness and gratitude for those who have defended the country.
