County will be raising money for the Royal British Legion this weekend, with a bucket collection to be held at Edgeley Park during our game against Tranmere Rovers.
The launch of the RBL’s Poppy Appeal marks the start of the national period of Remembrance, when the nation wears the poppy to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces. Members of the public will be able to get their poppy – the original version or the new plastic-free version – from thousands of volunteers across the county, or from major supermarkets.
This year’s plastic-free poppy is the first redesign of the iconic symbol of Remembrance in 28 years. The new poppy is entirely made from paper and can be recycled in household collections. It no longer has a plastic stem or centre, and can be fastened with a pin, worn in a buttonhole, or a stick-on version is available.
All funds raised from the Poppy Appeal will be used by the RBL to support veterans and their families, from help with the cost of living, employment, and housing, to support with recovery after trauma or illness.
Your support is going to make such a difference to this important cause, and we thank anyone in advance who is able to donate.
