Poppy splash for Remembrance Sunday – November 2026
We are looking for volunteers to make poppies, by knitting or crocheting, so we can decorate the fence either side of the war memorial at School Green ready for Remembrance Sunday 2026.
Participation by individuals, local groups and schools would be welcome.
In the new year we will set up a meeting to discuss arrangements and how this will work in practice.
If we have enough interest, we can set up weekly workshops for all to attend for making poppies and socialising.
If you are interested in being involved in this project please email info@shinfieldparish.gov.uk
We would also like donations of red and black Aran or Double Knit synthetic yarn, crocket hooks and knitting needles. If you have some yarn to donate please drop this off at the reception desk at the School Green Centre.
Thank you!
