Poppies for wha¯ nau

This year’s RSA Poppy Appeal has been launched with a focus on the support needed for families of service men and women, calling for New Zealanders to be understanding and show care not only for veterans and those currently or previously in service but the families who share the impact of that service. The appeal, which will benefit 41,000 veterans, current service men and women and their families, will culminate in an earlier than usual Poppy Day on Friday.
