Members of RBLS Campbeltown Branch and volunteers collected for this year’s Poppy Appeal in Tesco and the Co-op.
Every donation big or small helps support programmes and resources for military families and veterans.
“RBLS Campbeltown branch would like to thank Tesco and the Co-op for letting us collect in store and all those who have kindly donated to this year’s appeal,” said RBLS Campbeltown branch chairman George Rahman.
“Poppy Scotland provides support for current and former members of the Armed Forces as well as their families.
“This support is in recognition of their sacrifices and service.
“Poppy Scotland has helped countless men, women and families with issues linked to their time in the Armed Forces or with struggles adjusting from military to civilian life.
“They even help with needs that have arisen long after someone has left the Armed Forces. Whenever, wherever support is needed, they are here.”
