WHAT’S ON
LORD MAYOR LAUNCHES 2015 POPPY APPEAL The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal was officially launched in Sheffield on Saturday, 24 October when the Lord Mayor, Councillor Talib Hussain, bought a poppy on the Town Hall steps. The appeal, originally started to help those returning from the First World War, recognises the memory of the fallen and the future of the living. Councillor Hussain said: “The poppy is a powerful symbol and I will be wearing mine to remember not just those who have lost their lives in all conflicts, but also to show support for those still serving in the Armed Forces today.” Today, money raised
through the Poppy Appeal goes directly to the Royal British Legion’s welfare work, which supports those serving in the British Armed Forces, those who have previously served, and their families. Christine Spencer of South and West Yorkshire Royal British Legion, said: “The Legion is very grateful to the general public for all their support. The need for our welfare work helping serving, ex-service personnel and their dependents continues to grow.”Poppies will be on sale at locations throughout Sheffield until Wednesday, 11 November. Your donations to the Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal helps to deliver
a wide range of services to our Armed Forces community, including career advice, living with disability, coping with bereavement, financial awareness and practical support. Every poppy plays a part in providing that support. For 2015 Poppy Appeal, the Royal British Legion wanted to re-establish the connection between the poppy and the work of the Legion to make the public aware of who they help and what the money raised is spent on. When it was originally adopted by the Legion in 1921, the poppy was actually a symbol of hope because it helped to raise vital funds to support the Service men returning
from the First World War. The Legion want to re-establish the poppy as a symbol of hope for the future by telling the story behind the poppy, and how it honours the memory of the fallen along with supporting a better the future for the living. This year’s Poppy Appeal features a stunning advertising campaign that contrasts original portraits of WW1 soldiers
