A town’s poppy appeal has been saved thanks to a new volunteer who will be co-ordinating the annual fundraiser.
Stroud District Council’s Armed Forces Champions previously joined forces with the Royal British Legion (RBL) to urgently seek a new Poppy Appeal co-ordinator.
The RBL runs the poppy appeal every year to raise money for military veterans and serving personnel.
Karen Pitney, who is the daughter of a Royal Navy Sailor, has now been appointed to the role. She said: “For this year, I’m just going to do my best and will gratefully accept any help.”
