The Poppy Army are determined to bring beauty and splendor, to involve people from all walks of life and all ages to be inspired by creativity bringing people together producing wonderful Rememberance displays and developing those special friendships that last a lifetime. We do not take life for granted but embrace it as things could have been so much different and this is why we are truly grateful to all those brave men/women/animals that served and are serving our country in all kinds of ways.
We produce knitted and crochet poppy displays for those to enjoy and to help raise funds for The Royal British Legion and Help For Heroes

We are also so grateful to for the support of venues who have welcomed us when we meet up. We are always busy but we wouldn,t want anything else.
