Gurkhas from The First Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles were onhand to assist with the launch of the 2020 Poppy Appeal. Along with other British Army Soldiers and Officers from other Regiments and Corps.
You can donate to the appeal hereEvery poppy makes a difference to the lives of our Armed Forces community.
Like so many things this year, the Poppy Appeal has had to adapt to the threat of Covid-19. We’re calling on the public to support us like never before, because every poppy counts.
With some people unable to leave their homes as they normally would to find a poppy, and with many of the charity’s collectors unable to carry out face to face collections, we’ve unveiled a range of new ways for people to show their support remotely.
From donating for poppies through the post for your neighbours and local community, displaying a poppy in your window, donating online or undertaking a virtual Poppy run, there are many ways to support the Poppy Appeal from home in line with Covid-19 restrictions.
The photographs below were taken by our good friend Alex Welirang, who has supplied us with a number of great images and has featured in Parbate as well.
