Could you help with the Poppy Appeal collection in and around Trowbridge this year? We want to make Poppy Appeal bigger and better than ever this year, as we have more people to help than at any time.

The Appeal this year runs from Saturday, October 24 through to Saturday, November 7 (both days inclusive) with of course Remembrance Sunday the following day. We will have our usual static collection points in The Shires, Castle Place, Sainsbury and Tesco Extra as well as an opportunity at another large supermarket – if we have the volunteers.

Each static collection point is safe, secure and sheltered and they are friendly and fun places to collect at and our collectors invariably report having had an enjoyable time. If you can help please get in touch via e-mail ro007h1349@blueyonder.co.uk or ring me on 01225 766210.
