2025 Poppy Appeal
The final figures are in for the 2025 Poppy Appeal, and once again the Dunoon community has delivered an outstanding result. This year’s total stands at a remarkable £15,650.05, an increase on last year’s £14,356.50 and the highest amount ever raised locally.
This continued growth is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our Poppy Appeal volunteers. Their time, effort, and resilience each year are what make achievements like this possible, and they deserve enormous credit.
We are also extremely grateful for the support of our generous sponsors, McNee’s Building Services and Shearwater Marine Ltd, whose contributions play a vital role in the success of the appeal. A special mention must also go to Helena McLay and the organisers of the Stay Fresh Festival for their very generous donation of £1,000.
The generosity shown by the people and businesses of Dunoon and the surrounding areas continues to be truly humbling. Each year it feels like we have reached the peak—yet each year the community goes even further.
On behalf of Poppy Scotland and the Area Coordinators for Dunoon and Cowal, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who donated, volunteered, or supported the appeal in any way. Your contributions ensure that vital support continues to reach our Armed Forces community—those who have served, those still serving, and their families.
