Poppy Appeal needs support

Push for more volunteers

Island volunteers for the Royal British Legion are appealing for more members after the launch of this year's poppy appeal.

The campaign officially got underway on Saturday with a presentation and pipe band performance at the Strand Shopping Centre in Douglas with local cadets raising funds through the sale of poppies.
