We are planning to have the Poppy Appeal in Tiptree this year between 24th October and 7th November at Asda, Tesco and Wilkin's Tea Room/Shop. I need some more volunteers to help collect. The first week we will be collecting mainly at Tesco and Wilkin's and doing fewer collections in those locations the second week. We plan to start collecting at Asda from 30th October and there will be tins at various local businesses from 24th October to 10th November. Remembrance Sunday will be on the 8th. The Tiptree District now encompasses Great & Little Braxted, Messing and Layer Breton. I am also looking after Layer de la Haye and Great Totham. See Special Events for commemoration parade and service. New collectors are always welcome, so please get in touch with Sue to volunteer, you will need to fill in this editable form and send it to me. Any businesses and organisations which haven’t taken part before are also encouraged to get in touch. Shortages for Poppy Appeal Collections 2026 week 1 and week 2 Ideally there are two people collecting together at Asda and Tesco and one at Wilkin & Sons, as you can see from the list below there are some gaps marked with letters. The most important ones are the ones marked with red. I need at least one volunteer for each slot. A - means at Asda, T - means at Tesco, W - means at Wilkins & Sons. We can always start late or close early. Please can you fill some of these gaps. Also please note we may have to close early on some days. Saturday’s are our best days usually. Note the times are different at Wilkin & Sons from the 3rd November. So please get in touch if you can volunteer. |
