POPPY COUNT
Current count: 20,045
Our aim of 13,000 poppies has been exceeded through the hard work of the parishioners who have been busy knitting, sewing, crocheting, origamiing, cutting, sticking, painting and sculpting poppies since May. The hard work continues - make sure you check back to stay up to date with the poppy count!

If you're interested in contributing to the poppy project, but may be lacking inspiration, check out some ideas below for simple to effective ways of making hand-made poppies. Don't worry, you don't need to be a creative genius! Poppies will continue to be collected by the parish churches until the 21 October 2018.
