As we approach the beginning of this year's Poppy Appeal, a London Ambulance Service dispatcher who leads our internal poppy fundraising has presented the Royal British Legion with a cheque for £5,688 from last year's appeal, as our 2021 fundraising ramps up.
André N Elbourne- Le Brun, an Emergency Resource Dispatcher, coordinates fundraising for the Royal British Legion - with money raised by selling a special poppy badge to his staff and volunteer colleagues.
André took over from former colleague Lee Davies, who first designed and started to sell poppy badges to colleagues in 2009.
Lee was inspired to create a badge, as traditional poppies would often get damaged or lost during a busy shift on an ambulance.
