How To Donate To Poppy Appeal
*AD*Contains affiliate links*
The Poppy appeal started on 11th November 1921, when one of the founders of the Royal British Legion, Earl Haig, purchased and sold millions of poppies raising £106,000 for ex servicemen and their families. There are now more ways than ever to donate to the poppy appeal. This year marks the 100th birthday of the Poppy appeal. Lets make it count!
One Off Donation To British Legion
The easiest way to donate to the poppy appeal online is with a one off donation.
This requires £1 and less than 5 minutes of your time.
With the minimum donation set at only £1, it is easier than ever to send a quick donation without even having to leave the house.
To make a donation with no further obligation, go directly to the official Royal British Legion donation page ONE OFF DONATION PAGE
Regular Donation To British Legion
If you feel you are able to make a monthly commitment to The Royal British Legion then you can consider setting up a direct debit for a regular donation, from £1 per month.
The Royal British Legion adhere to the direct debit guarantee and you cancel your commitment at any time. Even set at the minimum payment, £12 a year going into the RBL funds would make an impact, and would be greatly appreciated.
You can set a monthly gift up on the RBL REGULAR DONATION PAGE
Royal British Legion Donations In Memory
If a loved one served in the armed forces at any time in their life, you can make a donation in memory of them. The Royal British Legion will enter their name in the book of remembrance in beautiful traditional calligraphy. You simply need to supply the persons name or nickname along with their rank or title.
The name can be entered free of charge, but it would be fantastic of you could make a donation from as little as £1. Traditional calligraphers are experts with many years of experience and their work on this book should be reflected.
You can find out more about this on the official RBL website DONATIONS IN MEMORIAM
The book of memorial is kept at the Royal British Legion head office in London- Please book a viewing before travelling.
