**The Royal British Legion’s 2007 Poppy Appeal has raised £30 million, a 15% increase
on the 2006 total of £26 million.**

The record sum from the two-week appeal was announced at the Legion’s Annual Conference
in Southport over the weekend.

Russell Thompson, Director of National Events and Fundraising, said: “The welfare
work of The Royal British Legion is close to the nation’s hearts and minds, and 
so is support for our Armed Forces. The result of the 2007 Poppy Appeal confirms
that”.
