🌺 Calling all businesses, event organisers & community groups 🌺

If you’ve got a long banner that’s been used to advertise an event and is no longer needed, please don’t throw it away.

We’re collecting banners throughout the year and will then donate them to local schools, who will use the reverse side to create a poppy banner for the Central Drive Poppy Display 2026.

A great way to reduce waste, support schools, and be part of a meaningful community tribute ❤️

If you can help, please comment below or message us directly.
