For the first time, Caerphilly Ward offered to help the Royal British Legion with its annual Poppy Appeal. Volunteers were organised with only three days to try and fill 49 time slots! However, members were enthusiastic and the first week of time slots were filled up fairly easily.
At the end of the two week campaign Caerphilly members donated around 100 hours of service. 32 families and a couple of non-members helped and managed to raise an amazing £4,997.08. Everyone was really chuffed at the success of the project and somehow we think we may be asked to do it again next year! Everyone enjoyed the experience, and we were all impressed with the generosity of the Caerphilly local people.
