Seeking Volunteers - 2025 Poppy Appeal
Tuesday 28th October – Tuesday 11th November, 2025
Poppy Appeal
Frankston RSL is looking for volunteers to help sell Poppy Appeal merchandise in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Area.
The valuable funds raised from our appeals go directly in support of veterans and their families who find themselves in necessitous circumstances, and the funds raised at the Frankston RSL also go toward helping prevent social isolation among the veteran community by subsidising regular veteran wellbeing activities organised through our “wellness and wellbeing” programs.
Help make the 2025 Poppy Day appeal great, and know that your time and assistance is immensely appreciated.
What does it involve?
Badge sellers work alone or in pairs, for a 2-3 hour shift, at the designated selling point of their choice:
