Poppy Appeal 2025
Once again the amazing people of Faversham, Boughton and Teynham who donated a record total for Faversham and District Poppy Appeal.
£37,202.88, and still a little more to come. Chris and Joy Hopkins (Poppy Appeal Organisers and Members of Faversham RBL Branch). Would like to thank all the brilliant volunteers who packed, delivered, collected, counted and are currently writing thank you cards.
We could not do this without you. Particular thanks to the Air Training Corps who collected at all three markets and the Army Cadet Force who could only
attend one market due to other Poppy Appeal duties.
As usual great thanks to Colin Port for his Austin Champ Jeep.
Thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers these packs and many more were assembled and distributed.
