The total amount raised by the Orihuela Costa and District Branch of the Royal British Legion during the 2022 Poppy Appeal has been announced. The €34,707 will be used here in Spain to support veterans and their families who are in need.

A spokesman for the charity said: “A big thank you goes to the very generous people who have donated, to the establishments who found room for our poppy boxes and all the many people who helped in any way whatsoever.”
