Overview

Join Poppy Walk London

This November we invite you to personalise and plant your own poppy tribute in honour of someone you may have loved and lost, and in recognition of what others have given and sacrificed for us all.

Bring friends and family together to celebrate the lives of Service men and women and help raise much-needed funds, as we share a moment of personal reflection on a sociable walk.

Our team is called the 'memory walkers' not just because we remembering people who have loved and lost their loved ones in service but for us to make memories for the little ones and for them, when they grow up, to do things with their families and create memories.

Fantastic!

Hi, thank you to all those that serve, we really appreciate it, thank you.

Because they fight for us, at a moment's notice, they could be here, there and everywhere and they do it. And if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be here now.

Just having a chat along the way and seeing the sights... we've had such a lovely Saturday morning walk.

DO IT!
