Scottish Poppy Appeal Organisers

Poppyscotland are looking for individuals, business, or community groups to organise the annual Scottish Poppy Appeal in Aberdeen. The poppy is the national symbol of Remembrance worn proudly by those who wish to support the Armed Forces community of Scotland in the build up to Remembrance Sunday.

Your role will be to coordinate the Scottish Poppy Appeal, by organising deliveries to local schools, shops, and businesses, organising ‘staffed’ collections at busy locations such as supermarkets by building a network of collectors to support the Appeal and producing collection rotas and at the end of the Poppy Appeal ensuring all donations are collected in and paid into the banked so that they can fund Poppyscotland life changing Welfare programs for veterans, serving personnel and their families.

A fantastic opportunity to help PoppyScotland. All help makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.
