November 01, 2021

Each year the British Chamber supports the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. This year, in the Legion's centenary year, despite our office being closed for daily operations we will be accommodating drop-ins to collect poppy donations between the hours of 10.30am - 5.00pm on the following dates:

2 November
3 November
8 November
9 November
10 November
11 November
12 November

Outside of these times/dates, poppies are also available from The British Club.

Wearing a poppy is a show of support for the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. It represents all those who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts; from the beginning of the First World War right up to present day. It also honours the contribution of civilian services and the uniformed services which contribute to national peace and security and acknowledges innocent civilians who have lost their lives in conflict and acts of terrorism. Find out more about Remembrance.

It’s a matter of personal choice whether someone chooses to wear a poppy and how they choose to wear it. From paper poppies to pins, bag charms to pet poppies, and now on face masks, the best way to wear a poppy is simply with pride. A range of alternatives is available from the Poppy Shop at www.poppyshop.org.uk.

Thank you for your support.
