Raising money for the Stratford upon Avon Poppy Appeal
The Poppy Appeal is overseen in Stratford by Anne Whatcott.
She said “We raised approximately £45,500 last year from Stratford and a couple of surrounding villages, we have a great team of volunteers, whose who sell merchandise and poppies in supermarkets and in the street, those who deliver and collect all the unmanned boxes in shops, pubs, surgeries, schools etc.
It a great privilege to do this work, on a personal level, my late Dad was a Poppy Collector and also a D Day Veteran and when asked to take over from the previous Organiser, I jumped at the chance. It’s hard work and not just for Remembrance time obviously but very worthwhile.
We held an Awards Evening recently when our collectors were presented with long service Awards, one man received his 50 year medal with another getting 35 years of service recognised also a few more getting 25, 20 and 15 years, I am very much a newcomer.
