Rather than our regular Friday Fun Fact, we thought an update was overdue...!
🌺 4,000 Thank Yous… and counting! 🌺
When we launched the Windsor Community Poppy Project, we hoped the community would get behind it. You have absolutely exceeded our expectations.
We have now collected around 4,000 handmade poppies and have a further 2,000 pledged, meaning we’re already over halfway towards our 10,000 poppy target for this autumn’s remembrance installation at Windsor Parish Church.
Every single poppy represents somebody’s time, creativity and commitment to remembrance. From knitting groups and care homes to schools, families and individuals, people have been contributing from Windsor and far beyond.
With more schools, community groups and organisations joining every week, the momentum is really starting to build.
A huge thank you to everyone who has made, donated, taught, encouraged, shared posts, supplied yarn or simply cheered us on so far. ❤️
The challenge now?
We still need another 4,000 poppies to reach our target… and we may soon need somewhere to store them all! 😄
If you’d like to get involved:
🌺 Knit, crochet, sew or craft a poppy
🌺 Join one our poppy picnic at Alexandra Gardens on 27.6, 12-4pm
🌺 Encourage your school, workplace or group to take part
🌺 Share this post to help us reach more people
Together, Windsor is creating something truly special.
