The Hungry Caterpillar

11/09/2026

It is this time of year again. We are looking for anyone who can knit or crochet to make 1 or a million poppies to add to our collection. Any amount would be gratefully received and can be dropped off in branch for to be placed on display in our village. (Pattern attacked) We are also looking for donations towards increasing the lamppost poppies. These are £5 each from the Royal British Legion and we would love for the display to keep on spreading (we had zero damaged last year!)
Many Thanks x
