Poppy Scotland pledge

We here at Poppyscotland are committed to providing lifechanging support to the armed forces community.

Many of your readers will be most familiar with us through the annual Scottish Poppy Appeal.

The money raised from the appeal allows us to provide tailored funding and assistance, and we also fund services in advice, employment, housing, mental health, mobility and respite.

This year, though, as we mark 100 years since the signing of the Armistice that heralded the beginning of the end of the First World War, it is Poppyscotland’s turn to say: “Your country needs you!”

We have launched The 1918 Poppy Pledge; a fundraising quest that is inspiring groups, schools, businesses, clubs and organisations around the country to take on the challenge of raising £1918 – or more – in 2018.

The Poppy Pledge – which can take any fundraising form the participants see fit – will be a lasting tribute to those who fell in the First World War, but, importantly, it will also allow us to make a step change in the scale of support Poppyscotland is able to provide those in the armed forces community who rely on our support today.

Your brave troops and their families need you. Will you take The Pledge?
