Stephen Price, director of the Shepherd Building Group, presents the cheque to Cliff Laurie, chairman of the Fulford branch of the Royal British Legion, with standard bearer Michael Wilson and appeal organiser Dick Shaw
THIS year’s Poppy appeal was kicked off with a big donation from a York business.
Stephen Price, a director of the Shepherd Building Group, handed over a cheque for £1,500 to Cliff Laurie, chairman of the Fulford branch of the Royal British Legion.
Mr Laurie said last year the branch had raised £35,000 and the annual donation from the Shepherd Group was a great help.
He said: “It gives us a start to raising money for the Poppy Appeal and it’s very gratefully received and helps us raise as much as possible.”
