Poppy Appeal kicks off this Thursday and runs until Wednesday November 11th.
To safeguard Royal British Legion staff, volunteers and members of the public during the current pandemic restrictions, this year their devoted community volunteer Poppy Appeal street collections have had to be curtailed.
In the unprecedented challenges that COVID-19 poses, the Royal British Legion local organisers face difficulties raising funds from this year’s Poppy Appeal.
To help you, your neighbours, family and friends, get hold of a poppy and contribute to the appeal, the Spar, GT News and Pet Supplies in the Crosspool precinct have generously agreed to support the appeal and from mid-day tomorrow, Thursday 22nd, will have a supply of poppies.

The “Friends of Lydgate Green” are organising a green clean up day for this Saturday!
Friends of Lydgate Green, a small group of local residents who have made themselves responsible for the upkeep of Lydgate green at the corner of Lydgate Lane /Lydgate Hall Crescent in Crosspool, are organising a day to work on the flower beds at the Green.
This Saturday 19th September, for a couple of hours from 10am, volunteers will be weeding, moving plants, litter picking and generally tidying up the area.
