2023 Poppy Appeal Launches Today

The Royal British Legion’s 2023 Poppy Appeal launches today and sees the introduction of our new plastic-free poppy
Made entirely from paper, the plastic-free poppy is available alongside stock of the existing poppy to reduce waste, and can be recycled in ordinary paper recycling collections.
Since its emergence as a symbol of Remembrance after the First World War, poppies have taken on various shapes and sizes.
From handmade silk and cotton poppies to wartime poppies, 2023 sees the biggest change in the poppy’s design for a generation.
Wearing your poppy shows you care, and helps the Royal British Legion raise vital funds to support the Armed Forces community all year round.
With thanks to The Poppy Factory and Andy Chaloner for sharing their poppy collections with us-RBL Credits.
