Annual Poppy Appeal

After a year where door to door collections were impossible, the annual poppy appeal will kick off on Friday 29th October in Hadlow Down.

Door to door collections in support of Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal will recommence this year on 29th October and we very much hope the village will continue to give generously as has been the case in the past.  Covid has taught us all that we can, by and large, live without cash, however we are not yet geared up to accept donations through card readers.  We would be hugely grateful if you could remember to put aside a little cash when our collectors come visiting to support this worthy appeal.

Thank you!
