Be a Poppy Collector

The Royal British Legion is seeking a new generation of volunteers. The generous donation of your time is the most critical factor in the success of our annual Poppy Appeal.

Each year our volunteer numbers drop by thousands, as many of our older collectors decide that they can no longer assist us. They have well and truly done their bit, and now we need to focus on new faces to come forward and lend a hand.

Volunteers give anything from two hours to two weeks of their time to collect on streets, shops and workplaces across the country. If this is not for you we also need local organisers, drivers, poppy distributors and volunteer counters. Everyone can get involved, and your contribution can really make a difference to serving and ex-Service people in need.

Visit our Volunteering microsite to learn more about how you can help us to help others.

To register your interest as a Poppy Collector, phone 0800 085 5924 or complete our online Volunteer form.
