How did you support The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal last year?  Did you buy a poppy? This year we are supporting the poppy appeal by adding a ‘poppy’ to our logo on our website and encouraging our customers to do the same.

For every customer who does, we are donating £20 to the Poppy Appeal.  As of 2 November, we have already raised £200!

With England in a second lockdown, it’s going to be even harder for The British Royal Legion to raise their much-needed funds in 2020.  Not only that, but any Remembrance Day celebrations are going to have to be either virtual or COVID secure this year!

We recognise that it’s hard for all charities, not just The Royal British Legion.  A report in the charity sector say that 98% of charities are ‘somewhat’ or ‘very’ concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on their ability to raise funds.  While another report estimates that charities will have a shortfall of 24% of their income i.e. some £12.4bn of cash.

You can see two examples of firms who are supporting this initiative at https://www.goughs.co.uk/ and https://www.jcpsolicitors.co.uk/

If you would like a poppy added to your website price start from £139 + VAT. Please email sales@conscious.co.uk or call the number above.
