Where does the money from the poppy appeal go to?
914404
Money raised from buying the poppies goes to support The Royal British Legion, the UK’s leading charity for safeguarding the welfare, interests and memory of those who have served in the Armed Forces and their dependants. It provides financial support to millions and its goodwill provides for all age groups, from the elderly to the very young.

it's all made up.\nBTW that's money wasted, should give the money paid to those in the show to charity.

I'd like to know exactly what those funds are for, since the soldiers have to do without helmet inserts that protect them from the percussion of explosions, and useful flak jackets, and jeeps held together with bubble gum, rubber bands and prayers.\n\nWhy isn't there a special investigator/investigation into the spending of our money on this "war"?

I've lived in Holland, Belgium, Russia and Romania. In all those countries, the poppy (or a flower of some sort in Russia) was worn on and around the date of 11the Nov. In Holland and Belgium, people put their poppies on the cenotaphs found in the Commonwealth cemeteries, or by the graves of men who had helped them (or that they had helped).\nWherever there's a British Embassy or High Commission, there will always be remembrance poppies worn in those countries (even if it's only by the people in the embassies). And services are always performed in the capitol cities.

I'm not exactly sure how the money is dispersed, but I would imagine it comes from a travel stipend or something. That might bring up the question of what funds are used to pay for Air Force One. \n\nBut I think it's important for our political leaders, regardless of their party, to do some travelling for the sake of keeping up good relations between other groups.

hes not soliciting money. it looks like hes looking for the appropriate organisation to turn to. i dont know but its a sad story. i think you might start by going to some churches, and that might point you in the right direction, but surely there is someone that can help. you might even try going to a news agency so they can publish an article about it or run some news programme on the tele to get the attention from the right parties.

it depends what you want the money for and how much, for example there is a small grants fund usually run by your local authority which can give up to £750 and the form is really easy.\n\nit's called the Sportlot Community Chest. Hope this helps

Bush has got your money spent! My guess is that you better get a post box # and have a family member send it to you.

The money has the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" printed on it.  When you pick up money off the ground you're receiving a reward from God.  God is providing for you.

The Toys for Tots campaign is not a scam.  The Marines have been doing that for YEARS.  Charities can sell items to help raise money as well.  This, again, is legal.  \n\nIf the one in front of your WalMart was not the Marine Corp one, then it could possibly be a scam or someone running it that is unaware of how that is supposed to go.  A lot of times, people take advantage of TRUE charities to make their own gain.  If you feel this is the case, the best thing to do is notify your local law enforcement agency and also contact the Charity headquarters.

Unfortunately i dont think there is a 'pardon' in the UK. THe only thing to do would be to appeal against the conviction, but i explained the appeal bits in anotehr of hte questions. (i'd just like to make you aware that i am not a professional lawyer. I realise i have answered your 3 questions, to the best of my own knowledge, but i am still a student, and still have much to learn. I would like to help as best i can, my email is foo_fighters_fan_2002@yahoo.co .uk if you wish to talk to me further)
