Wear your Poppy with Pride - Council backs annual appeal

22 October 2025

Residents are being urged by Powys County Council to get behind the Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal and wear their poppies with pride.

The Poppy Appeal runs until Remembrance Day on 11 November and the money raised will help the Royal British Legion provide vital support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families, offering expert guidance and assistance with recovery and civilian life transitions all year round.

"As Powys County Council's Armed Forces Champion, I'm proud to support this year's Poppy Appeal," said Deputy Leader Cllr Matthew Dorrance.

"Led by the Royal British Legion, the appeal plays a vital role in helping us remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

"The funds raised provide life-changing welfare support to our Armed Forces community, veterans, and their families.

"Wearing a poppy is a simple yet powerful act of remembrance and gratitude. I encourage everyone to support the Poppy Appeal and wear their poppy with pride."
