Poppy team needs the support of Dumfries and Galloway residents for annual appeal
There are displays and collection boxes in Dumfries’ Loreburne Centre and Morrisons, as well as Tesco and Aldi stores across the region.
Some of the region’s Poppyscotland supporters launched their annual Scottish Poppy Appeal on Friday with a stall in the Loreburne Centre. “This was of course due to the extreme generosity of the people, young and not so young, of Dumfries. Money raised during the Scottish Poppy Appeal is used to provide vital life-changing support for service families, veterans and those currently serving. Annually, some three million poppies are distributed across Scotland by teams of volunteers.Aldi Scotland stores in the region will have Poppyscotland volunteers in-store each day until Monday, November 11. They will also be in other shops and stores for the next week or so, and the cadets are collecting in Annan.
