Remember the FALLEN,
Recognise SERVICE..
- wear a POPPY
11 NOVEMBER
Remembrance Day
What is the POPPY Appeal?

Every year, for a couple of months leading up to and including November, volunteers, veteran organisations and schools, hand out paper Poppies in return collecting donations in support of military veterans and their families. 

​

Members of the public wear the poppies on their chest as a symbol of Remembrance of all Service men and women who fell or were injured in conflict.

​

It includes specific Remembrance events and activities, such as Remembrance Day - 11th November and Poppy Day, where the public is encouraged to participate and join veteran organisations in remembering those who have served and sacrificed in war.

This not only includes those that have served in World War I and II, but all those that have

served in any war and are still serving today, as well as their families.
