This will be our 12th year of supporting the 2 local Royal British Legion group in their Poppy Appeal through our stick-on poppy initiative!
In that time we have raised over £20,000 – taking not one penny from the initiative by spending at least 100 man hours each year in the promoting, taking and processing orders, posting them to distant clubs and banking and processing payments.
In previous years, we used the 2 petal Poppy Appeal image as the background to the image design – unfortunately someone complained to RBL that we didn’t have copyright and we were told to stop using it by them – despite us taking no profit whatsoever! We feel that this was probably a business that takes their commission and passes on a small % of the poppy sale price.
For a fleeting second, we felt that this would stop us continuing – instead we will carry on supporting a fantastic cause!
As a result, we commissioned Sophie Hardy to design our own Poppy sticker as below. We think it’s fantastic and hope you do too. Thanks so much Soph!
Our fantastic friends at Bri-Stor will produce the poppies free of charge for us – thanks once again for their support.
We are now taking orders.
Please cmail if you’d like some for your teams to wear during their matches on Remembrance Weekend. We look for a donation of one pound per poppy.
