Poppy Appeal Launches In Market Harborough
Written by HFM News on 26th October 2020
The Poppy Appeal has launched in Market Harborough, but is different to normal this year because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Royal British Legion are manning a stall at the Indoor Market for the next two weeks, selling poppies and other appeal items, and Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and the Co-Op supermarkets are also selling poppies.

No on-street collections are taking place in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday and no supplies of Poppies have been given to businesses, shops and schools.
Last year’s appeal in and around Market Harborough raised just over £35,000.
