- In 2006, the Poppy Appeal raised £26 million – a
third of the £75.5 million which the Legion spends carrying out its
work.
- Some 300,000 volunteers help to organise and
collect for the Poppy Appeal each year.
- Each year the Poppy Appeal distributes around 36
million poppies, 100,000 wreaths and sprays and 750,000 Little
Remembrance Crosses. These items are made at the Legion’s Poppy
Factory in Richmond, Surrey.
- Poppy protocol - A poppy can be worn at any time,
but they are usually available 2 weeks before Remembrance Sunday.
They are made available to broadcasters and politicians in advance,
which is why they are able to wear them earlier if they choose to.
