The Peasmarsh branch of the Royal British Legion raised over £2,000 by selling poppies at the Jempson’s superstore for this year’s appeal.
Mr Tony Curd (above), a member of the Legion for over 35 years and Chairman of the Peasmarsh division, said: “On behalf of the British Legion I would like to thank Jempson’s for their continued support.
“We have been collecting at the store in its varying guises for the last 30 years, and this year’s appeal has been the most successful yet. We always get a fantastic response from both customers and staff, and are always made to feel welcome. We enjoy going there and will continue to do so”.
Stephen Jempson said: “It is always a pleasure to welcome Mr Curd. He has selflessly collected for the Poppy Appeal for many years, and we are delighted that this one has been so successful. We would like to thank our customers for their generous and unequivocal support”.
