Welcome to the BlackPoppyRose Newsletter 

Your Ancestors need you!

 

Good rising,

 

It has been a while since we've been in touch with you and we want to remedy this. As a new year start, we are delighted to present you our key accomplishments of 2016:  

·         Sold just over 3,500 BlackPoppyRose Pins.

·         Raised just over £7,000.

·         Visited over 20 Cities within the UK delivering talks, presentations & workshops including Cardiff, Dublin & Glasgow.

·         Laid the 1st BlackPoppyRose wreath to remember World War II veteran Sam King MBE who joined the ancestors.

·         Laid 6 BlackPoppyRose wreath for the first time on Remembrance Sunday in: Croydon, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, and Luton.

·         Celebrated our first November 11th Remembrance Day Event. Held at the Black Cultural Archives, Brixton, London.

·         Celebrated our 2nd Remembrance event of the Taranto Mutiny’s 98th Anniversary, Brixton, London.

Our aims are not only to focus within the U.K but it is a global effort to educate and inform.
We are a self-funded campaign, through the sales of the pins and booking our services all the work we do is possible.

 

 

We WILL Remember

 

The sacrifices made by all those who came before us are not forgotten as we are a living testimony of their existence, however we are not remembering. We answer the questions you did not know to ask…What we leave behind should enable the future to understand the power of their legacy.

Your help is welcomed

 

Since November 2016 we have been exploring ideas about creating a mobile exhibition to tour the UK. We would like to ask for your active involvement and investment in the creation and execution of the first:

 
BlackPoppyRose Community Exhibition
Launch in London 
SATURDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2017
and will remain for 3 months until December 2017.

 

 

 

 

This is what we need from you:

 

1. BlackPoppyRose Ambassadors: To be the face of the BlackPoppyRose in your local area

 

2. Volunteers: 3 hours per week

 

3. Monthly Donation: Will help us to do much more to spread the work of BlackPoppyRose…A manageable amount I.e. £4 - £8 per month (£1 or £2 per week etc.)

 

4. Investors / Sponsors

 

We are thankful for your support but there is much more that can be done in honour of our Ancestors! To help us we have a Go-Fund me page, please support below.
