Honouring Heroes: Corby Freemasons Support the Poppy Appeal
As Remembrance Day approaches, the Corby Freemasons are once again stepping forward to support the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal. This week, members are volunteering at Morrisons in Corby, collecting donations and sharing a message of gratitude for those who served and sacrificed.
Remembering Those Who Served
Remembrance Day holds deep significance for the Corby Freemasonry community. Lodges pay tribute to the men and women who defended freedom, often at great personal cost. For Corby Freemasons, taking part in the Royal British Legion’s fundraising drive is both a duty and an honour.
Every coin dropped into a collection tin, every brief conversation, and every smile exchanged at the store is a moment of remembrance. It’s a simple act that connects past and present, ensuring the memory of our servicemen and women endures.
Supporting the Royal British Legion
The Royal British Legion has been at the heart of national remembrance for more than a century, providing vital support to veterans and their families. Funds raised through the Poppy Appeal help provide financial assistance, mental health services, and community support to those who have served in the British Armed Forces.
By collecting at Morrisons, Corby Freemasons join thousands of volunteers nationwide who make the Legion’s work possible. It’s a practical way to give back to those who gave so much.
Freemasonry and Community Service
Community involvement is a cornerstone of Freemasonry. From charity fundraisers to local partnerships, Freemasons quietly dedicate countless hours to supporting good causes. The Corby lodge has a long history of service to the town, and its participation in the Poppy Appeal is one more example of that commitment in action.
Members describe the experience as humbling and rewarding—an opportunity to engage with local residents, hear personal stories, and collectively honour those who served.
A Shared Moment of Reflection
As Remembrance Day draws near, the red poppy stands as a symbol of both loss and gratitude. For the Corby Freemasons, collecting for the Royal British Legion is more than a charitable effort; it’s an expression of remembrance, respect, and unity.
We are grateful for every donation, every kind word, and every moment shared during this period of reflection. Together, we ensure that the sacrifices of the past are never forgotten.
Lest We Forget.
