As part of the Isle of Wight Branch of the Royal Marines Association’s (RMA) “Tidy Up War Graves” project they’ve invited primary schools and other interested parties to produce Poppies/Flowers for a Remembrance Sunday display.
As school finances are very stretched on the Island, a fundraising page with Just Giving has been launched and all donations will go to participating schools.
Can you donate?
If you feel you are in a position to help our local schools please donate.
If you highlight a particular school that is taking part in this event all of your donation will go to that school, otherwise your donation will be distributed equally to participating schools.
To donate please go the Just Giving Page.
