Wear Your Poppy with Pride and Support Our Heroes

The Significance of the Poppy

The poppy, a symbol of remembrance, is worn to honour those who have sacrificed their lives in service to their country. Its bright red colour represents the bloodshed of war, while its delicate petals symbolise hope and renewal.

The Royal British Legion's Vital Work

The Royal British Legion is a charity dedicated to supporting the Armed Forces community. The funds raised through the Poppy Appeal go towards providing vital services to veterans, serving personnel, and their families. This includes:

  • Financial support: Helping with housing costs, medical bills, and other essential expenses.
  • Mental health support: Offering counselling and therapy services to those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
  • Social support: Providing companionship and activities to combat loneliness and isolation.
  • Advocacy: Fighting for the rights and welfare of the Armed Forces community.

You can show your support for the Armed Forces community by purchasing a poppy from the stall at the entrance to Tesco in Oakham. Every penny donated makes a difference in the lives of those who have served their country.
