‘Fulwood Poppies’ a fitting tribute to those who have fallen

Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day looked a little different for everyone this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

People were not able to pick up a poppy easily like they have been able to in previous years, but The Royal British Legion are still accepting donations.

To raise awareness of this, Fulwood-based Sophie Cookson encouraged her local area to display poppies in their windows, and to donate to the cause.

The fundraiser was affectionately known as ‘Fulwood Poppies’ but all people across Preston were encouraged to participate.

The goal was to raise funds and to bring the community together at this difficult time.

Sophie has raised over £200 for The Royal British Legion, in a year where donations are vital to charities.
