Following the success of the assistance Brethren in the Province provided to The Royal British Legion 'Poppy Appeal' in 2023, we have again been asked to provide help in 2024.

Once names have been collated a brief about parking etc will be sent to those brethren who will be assisting.
Although we are now in the summer break, please keep this in mind and volunteer, not only to support The Royal British Legion 'Poppy Appeal' but this also provides a great opportunity to give Service back to the community and to highlight the work of our wonderful fraternity.
The main comment in feedback from those who volunteered last year was, ”How very humbling it was to see people's generosity and be out there in the public" so please assist if you can ?
