Money raised helps thousands of Armed Forces personnel, veterans, and their families every year on issues including homelessness, financial support and mental health
Fundraising in Dumfries and Galloway for the annual Scottish Poppy Appeal was officially launched in the foyer of the Loreburne Centre on Friday.
Branch members and volunteer supporters will be manning the stall in the centre, near Marks and Spencer every day except Sundays until November 11, to allow people to buy purchase poppies and assorted decorative metal badges. The region usually raises between £18,000 to £20,000 for the appeal with poppies in shops, schools and other outlets.
