The Poppy Flight (Project) [2021]

The Poppy Flight was a major fundraiser originally planned for 2020, but postponed till 2021, bringing together remembrance and hope for the future. It encouraged our children to remember those who fought for our freedom, many of whom who paid the ultimate price, and encourage them to think about returned servicemen who need our help and support now. It also encouraged them to think about and support children and their families who are dealing with illness and challenges we can only imagine. The collective fundraising helped The RSA and The Starship Foundation continue to provide the care needed in many areas Each day, departing in March 2021, the pilot volunteers carried the knitted poppies and stars on their flight sector, with the town of arrival hosting a welcome party where the local communities and schools got involved with fundraising at a fun and educational event.
