MORE collectors in Oxfordshire are being asked to come forward to sign up for this year's Poppy Appeal.

The RBL in the county is also seeking two appeal organisers, one for Filkins near Carterton in West Oxfordshire, and another for Henley in South Oxfordshire.

Community fundraiser for Oxfordshire Mark Garwood said: "A PAO is the link between the branch, community and volunteer collectors, as well as local organisations and businesses that support the appeal each year.

"Without this role we would struggle to plan our collections and create an impact as we have done in the past."

He said that all branches would benefit from more people volunteering as collectors.

Mr Garwood added: "We aim to make volunteering with the legion an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

"Volunteer can make a real difference to the lives of those who are serving or have served in our Armed Forces and their dependents."

You do not need to be a member of the RBL to volunteer.
