Abbots Langley Poppy Appeal (ALPA) are hoping this year will be the biggest and best yet as their volunteers begin their annual collections.
Last year ALPA raised an impressive £14,500 with that figure boosted by Dean Russell MP who joined a team of volunteers on a shift.
Following that success, the MP once again joined the selfless team of poppy appeal volunteers this year.
He stood alongside ALPA outside Abbots Langley post office on October 29 from 11am to 1.30pm, helping boost the coffers of the appeal.
The money raised will go to the Royal British Legion.
Les Vertessy, from ALPA, told AbbotsNews: “It’s great to once again have the support of Dean Russell MP.
“Last year we raised £14,500 which is a great amount and shows how lucky we are to have such generous people in our community.
“We are hoping to make it more this year although we do recognise the financial constraints people are under at this time. All donations gratefully received.”
