you can donate online there.
there is intense rivalry between the local rbl branches here and there are poppies available everywhere in the local area.i suspect that perhaps the rbl that is/was local to you is failing/failed due to poor local support and a lack of members therefore the poppy appeal is being managed at a distance so to speak.
it's been happening all too often as we get more and more members of the older generations dying and not enough of the younger generations of service and ex servicemen/women are joining the rbl.
i have on occasions,even though i'm not a member,been roped in to collect as there are too few members willing to stand in the local high street collecting.
incog.
