Jersey's 2024 Poppy Appeal has raised £201,832.31 for the island's Royal British Legion.

Volunteers, veterans and Chelsea Pensioners were seen on King Street and at venues across the island collecting spare cash from islanders in October and November. 

The efforts paid off, with this year's total topping 2023's final fundraising count by over £15,000. 

Money donated by islanders will go towards supporting veterans and their families in Jersey.

Alison Opfermann, Poppy Appeal organiser, wants to thank everyone who donated:

"Once again, we have been completely overwhelmed by the funds donated to the Appeal and are humbled by the ongoing generosity of Islanders.

"Every penny we raise stays in Jersey, so on behalf of the Island’s service veterans and their families, we offer sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated or made a purchase.

"It is just wonderful that everyone has come together to show such support for our forces community.“
