11.00, 11/11 2008 It's that time of year again folks, I'm sure your all wearing your poppies with pride (I hope so at least). If you're not however, all is not lost, the RBL accept direct donations on their site. The Royal British Legion makes a real difference to hundreds of thousands of people's lives every year. But this is only made possible through the support of people like you. There are many easy ways to donate to The Royal British Legion, and no gift is too small to make a difference. £5 will ensure that a housebound or hospitalised person receives a one hour friendship visit. £20 would contribute towards an emergency grant to provide essentials like food, fuel, clothing or bedding to an ex-Service person struggling to survive. £30 could help towards providing skilled advice and an hour's representative for a person at a Disability Allowance or War/Disablement Pension tribunal. £75 could help towards providing a fresh start for an ex-Service man or woman, with a place on a vocational assessment course which can help them adjust to life outside the Services and introduce them to new civilian skills. £230 could buy an emergency lifeline alarm for an elderly person. £800 could provide a severely disabled person and their carer with a much needed welfare break. So, thanks for reading and please do consider making a secure donation to the Legion at the following URL: https://www.secureweb-services.com/RBL/ Thanks again.
I've never bought a poppy in my life, maybe after reading it I will, good job they are selling them all over the place..
Indeed, they are selling them all over. This is another thing you can do to support the effort if you can't afford even a small donation. Selling poppies on a street corner could really improve the quality of someones life.
I have bought a few poppies (keep losing them), I also encourage others to get them. Also done a few other donations here and there.. it is a great cause.
I've made a sweet userbar for this occasion I thought I would share it with you all, add it to your signature on all forums you go to [url="http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/content/Donate-Now-513629.shtml"][img]http://www.filehive.com/files/081108/poppy_userbar.gif[ /img][ /url] Code (markup): PS: for the code to work, remove the spaces from the closing [ /img] and [ /url] tags between [/
