Orihuela Costa Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
Donation protected
Proud Tradition of The Royal British Legion lives on in Spain
The Royal British Legion has been caring for members, former members and families, of the Armed Forces Community for almost 100 years and it has rarely faced a greater challenge than that presented by COVID-19, especially here in Spain where calls for assistance have increased significantly.
Although a UK Charity which operates under UK Charity Law, under the umbrella of the Legion’s head office in London, TRBL covers huge areas along the Spanish Costas one of the largest of which is The Orihuela Costa and District Branch which draws members from Punta Prima in the north to La Manga in the south and inland to Orihuela City.
Although we fundraise all year round the main focus of our fundraising is at this time of year with the Poppy Appeal, close to 11th November, during the period leading up to Remembrance Sunday.
The money we raise here in Spain supports beneficiaries in Spain at a rate of about €20k a month.
This year we have no doubt that the situation presented by COVID-19 will significantly affect our fundraising and as such we have set up this GoFundMe Page, donations into which will be paid directly into the Orihuela Costa and District Branch Poppy Appeal account here in Spain, from which every euro donated will make a huge difference to someone’s quality of life.
We know that many people are going through tough times themselves and we’re grateful to everyone who can contribute. However much or little you can afford, I can assure you that it will put it to good use by supporting our beneficiaries here in Spain!
