Kirkcaldy’s Fundraising for Poppy Scotland

The motion

That the Parliament commends MKM Kirkcaldy for its longstanding commitment to Poppy Scotland, having raised £104,700 through its support for the Scottish Poppy Appeal since 2017; welcomes its ambition to take its cumulative fundraising total beyond £120,000 following the 2026 appeal; recognises the contribution of former branch director Ian Watson, Poppy Appeal organiser Barrie Stokes and the whole branch team in developing an initial request for a collection box into a substantial annual fundraising effort; notes that the branch acts as a local area organiser, distributing more than 400 collection boxes to businesses, collecting donations, supporting pop-up shops and providing storage space for appeal materials; thanks Fife Flyers for supporting this year’s appeal through an auction of commemorative poppy jerseys worn by players; recognises the generosity of local businesses, residents and volunteers who support the appeal each year; acknowledges the vital work of Poppy Scotland in supporting Scotland’s Armed Forces community and their families, and wishes everyone involved continued success in reaching this fundraising milestone.
