Marple Poppy Appeal 2020 raises £11,809.75 for Royal British Legion!

The news is that despite the fact there were no poppies to sell, there were no collection pots out in shops, pubs, restaurants etc. and despite having to shut down the Asda stand on Wednesday evening 4th November, loosing Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which are historically the busiest days, the Marple Poppy Appeal Team still managed to collect £11809.75p, which is absolutely amazing!

Well done to the Marple Poppy Appeal Team and everyone who sponsored, donated or helped.

Marple Wall of Remembrance 2020

For 2020 the Marple Poppy Appeal Team has created a wall of Remembrance dedicated to the local men killed in all conflicts who are named on the war memorial in Marple Memorial Park.

The display is on the fence of the bowling green, near to the former pavilion that was built by soldiers who returned from WWI in memory of their comrades who were lost.

Marple Poppy Appeal 2020

Poppy Appeal plea to local business owners

Unfortunately, due to Covid19 situation, this year will be very different for the Marple Poppy Appeal, as there will be no poppies to sell! However, inspired by the NHS Rainbows that have been on display throughout Marple, the Poppy Appeal Team has designed a very special A3 size poster for people to display in their windows to show their support.



The Team realise this year has been tough for everybody but we would like to ask you to consider making a small donation to help us raise the funds to cover the cost of these posters.

Please contact Kevin Murray 07954 388782 or email poppyappeal@marple-uk.com if you would like to donate or get more information about this year's appeal.

Wall of Remembrance in Memorial Park

The Marple Street Poppies have been a huge success in recent years and for 2020 the team has decided to create a Wall of Remembrance, displaying all the Street Poppies together. The main display will be in Marple Memorial Park, on the Bowling Green fence not far from the war memorial and the timeline display on the railings of Hollins House.

There will also be Walls of Remembrance at Compstall and Mellor.



If you would like to sponsor a Street Poppy in one of these local displays please contact Kevin on 07954 388782 or email poppyappeal@marple-uk.com

Remembrance Service

It is certain that Remembrance Services throughout the country will not be able to go ahead in the traditional way this year. As yet there are no plans confirmed for any of the normal local services but as soon as arrangements are known they will be shared here.

Poppy Wreaths

Wreaths can still be ordered from the Poppy Appeal Team via poppyappeal@marple-uk.com

Thank you to all our volunteers

Finally, a big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who have given up their time to help this appeal be the success it has turned out to be. We couldn’t do it without you.
