LOCAL organisations are hosting their own ‘Poppy Bounce’ events to raise money for Armed Forces charity Poppyscotland.
The Girvan Jobcentre and NHS Ayrshire Hospital will jump on their spacehoppers for the fundraising challenge this month in the lead up to Armed Forces Day on June 29.
Poppyscotland’s Head of Fundraising, Gordon Michie, said: “Armed Forces Day takes place later this month, and this is a chance for the public to get behind our brave men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.
“Poppyscotland exists to support those who have served, those still serving and their families, and The Big Poppy Bounce will help our veterans bounce back into civilian life. We can provide some space hoppers and then it’s up you as to how you want to bounce.”
Events can be at school, work or a hall.
