Poppy Appeal

ORGANISERS of Wokingham’s Poppy Appeal are appealing for help to ensure this year’s collection is a success. 

Last year, generous residents from across the borough donated £57,000 to the annual event. 

This time round, it is hoped that that impressive figure can be topped. 

David Dunham said that there was a need for collectors to come forward for the appeal, which runs from Saturday, October 26 through to Remembrance Sunday, November 9. 

He added: “We are also desperate for support in delivering the poppies and tins, to shops, offices etc in the Wokingham area.

“Last year in Wokingham we raised about £57,000 which is the best the Town has recorded, this year we would like to keep up this good work.
