Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We first created our ribbon of poppies display in 2019, with it on display outside our scout centre. In 2020 we relocated it to the Wistaston Memorial Hall, in the centre of the village. 

For 2021 we decided to take it a step further and produce an even bigger display to go up at St. Mary's Church, Wistaston. The display, made from over 5,000 plastic bottle ends, was first started back in January 2021 as we asked people to collect their bottle ends for us. Each week the bottles were emptied from the collection bin and spray painted red to resemble the poppy. Then, in October the work started to assemble the display by attaching the bottle ends to chicken wire, with buttons used to reassemble the centre of the poppy.

A big thank you to all of our beavers, cubs, scouts, young leaders, leaders and parents who helped us to create the wonderful display, it simply wouldn't have been possible without you! A thank you also to Aerosol Solutions who kindly donated 12 litres worth of spray paint for the display, and to Buildbase (Nantwich) for the kind supply of chicken wire. 

On their 100 year anniversary, we'd like to thank The Royal British Legion for all the work they have and will continue to do in supporting our veterans and currently serving personnel who have given up so much for their country. We hope our display is a fitting tribute to them and hope you can donate any spare money you have.

Thank you.
