Annual Poppy Appeal
After a year where door to door collections were impossible, the annual poppy appeal will kick off on Friday 29th October in Hadlow Down.
Door to door collections in support of Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal will recommence this year on 29th October and we very much hope the village will continue to give generously as has been the case in the past. Covid has taught us all that we can, by and large, live without cash, however we are not yet geared up to accept donations through card readers. We would be hugely grateful if you could remember to put aside a little cash when our collectors come visiting to support this worthy appeal.
Thank you!

No Trick or Treat
Trick or Treating may be fun for some, but it’s not for everyone.
Older people can find it quite scary enough just having to answer a door knock or bell ring on a dark evening others can find it quite embarrassing when nothing is at hand to give to give to disappointed children and have to say no.
If you would prefer not have anyone call on you instead of sitting with the lights out on Halloween night, hoping no one will knock, why not put a sign out on your door.
