Renfrew Rotary in Renfrew, Paisley on the West Coast of Scotland

The Club has supported the Appeal for 39 years and, headed up for the forth year by local stalwart Mac de Sousa, the team is working hard to distribute poppies and collecting cans to ensure a successful campaign in Renfrew this year.

The 2007 Scottish Poppy Appeal raised a record £1.76 million (Renfrew Rotary raised over £8,500) and PoppyScotland, organiser of the annual campaign, hopes the 2008 event will see another record total to enable it to continue its work, supporting veterans and their dependants in Scotland.
