May I thank the people of Trowbridge and our surrounding villages for once again digging deep in response to Poppy Appeal 2013.
We have had some amazing support from our team of volunteers in the shopping centres and supermarkets as well as those who collect door-to-door and at work.
After the event the counters have worked hard to ensure the collection is accounted and banked in record time.
We have so far paid in over £27,000 and it seems likely the total will once again approach £30,000. Thank you all so much, on behalf of the Poppy Appeal, The Royal British Legion and the “service family” who depend on us to help them through such difficult times.
Rick Owen, Hon Secretary/Branch Caseworker/Hon Poppy Appeal Organiser, The Royal British Legion, Trowbridge.
