ROYAL British Legion volunteers are celebrating after the Itchen Valley Poppy Appeal raised £3,506.
John Harris, RBL organiser, said residents and local businesses have supported the appeal generously.
“It reflects a terrific effort by a large number of people for a superb cause,” he said.
In an email he also said: “Sincere thanks to all who contributed, and especially to those who made house to house rounds. We also appreciate the willingness of our local businesses to keep trays of poppies and collecting boxes during Remembrancetide.”
