Over £1,000 was raised by the the second Ferndown Poppy Walk organised by the Ferndown Branch of the Roay British Legion.
Branch chairman, Grant Parrott said, “I would like to thank everyone who took part and helped on the day and the hundreds who gave sponsorship or donations to make the day such a success. Every penny raised will go towards the RBL’s rehabilitation and trauma recovery centres, care homes and carer support, advice and counselling services and home and hospital visits for both serving personnel and ex-services veterans and their families wherever it is needed on both a local and national level.”
The nationwide poppy appeal this year is on target to reach £40 million.
