Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Kenilworth Branch of the Royal British Legions JustGiving page. 

Last year the Kenilworth Poppy Appeal raised over £16,000 despite the COVID-19 restrictions. This year's Poppy Appeal launches on Thursday 28th October. Our amazing team of collectors have been at the heart of the Poppy Appeal for 100 years and, as Covid-19 restrictions ease, they are back in our local community to raise vital funds for the Armed Forces community. 

This year we will be returning to in-store collections in Sainsbury's and Waitrose every day until Saturday 13th November. Talisman Square will be operating on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (depending on the weather). There will be several ways to donate, including, Cash, Contactless terminal and QR codes. We are calling on the people of Kenilworth to support us like never before because every poppy counts. 

If you have time to help offer a couple of hours to volunteer, please contact Debbie and Martin Cox via our Facebook page or email debbie.harper@live.com.

The Royal British Legion ensures that the act of remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave Service men and women have made are never forgotten. Remembrance does not glorify war and its symbol, the red poppy, is a sign of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.

Dealing with the pandemic has brought home a sense of duty that we all have to protect the most vulnerable in our society and our way of life. This same sense of duty has endured through generations of our Armed Forces, from the oldest of our WW2 veterans to the newest recruits. This year, once again they have been there when we need them, standing alongside essential workers on the front line fighting against COVID-19 and they need you now.

The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity. Founded in 1921, the Legion is not just about those who fought in the World Wars of the last century, but also about those involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting for the freedom we enjoy today. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
