Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal


A couple of years ago, the then Mayor of Nottingham was speaking to the then District Governor of District 1220, Val Leivers, and wondered whether Rotary could assist the Royal British Legion who were struggling to find enough collectors to cover the busy city centre.  Val was pleased to enlist District 1220’s help and Rotarians based in Nottingham have since been involved in collecting for the annual Poppy Appeal.  By the time Remembrance Sunday takes place, I will have collected at Asda and Sainsbury stores in Arnold, and the Victoria and Broadmarsh centres in Nottingham city centre.

The generosity of people is amazing and I’m grateful to all those who regularly support a tremendous cause.

“…We will remember them.”
