Everybody loves a hero. Fortunately here in the UK, we are blessed with more than our fair share. However, from time to time even a hero needs a helping hand. The Poppy Lottery is run by the Royal British Legion, and all money raised goes to help brave serving and ex-service people and their families, across the UK. Sometimes this means people who have served their country bravely but who have paid a price in terms of injury.
- Helping Heroes
