Merrion Centre Thanks Generous Shoppers For Another Bumper Poppy Appeal

Thu 17 Nov, 2016

In the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, Town Centre Securities’ (owner of the Merrion Centre) entire workforce, both directors and employees alike, have been taking it turns to operate a pop-up poppy stall in the Merrion Centre with all proceeds going to The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Thanks to their efforts and the generosity of the Merrion Centre shoppers, both this year and last, TCS has raised just shy of a staggering £40,000 for the charity.

Charlotte-Daisy Ziff, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at TCS, said, “The pop-up poppy stall has once again proved to be a huge success. We are very proud of all the fundraising initiatives we undertake at TCS and will continue to make every effort to support our chosen charities.”

Those who shopped at the pop-up poppy stall could choose from a vast array of merchandise, ranging from the traditional paper poppy to bejewelled poppy pins and even car air fresheners, bracelets, notebooks, umbrellas, keyrings and tote bags.

John Norton, Head of Trading, The Royal British Legion, said, “Each year, through the British public’s generous donations, we are able to help the Armed Forces community and their families. The Royal British Legion Pop-Up Poppy Shop at The Merrion Centre has provided the public with another way to show their support and to raise important funds so we can continue to help all our beneficiaries. We thank the Merrion Centre for their hard work and supporting The Royal British Legion with this initiative and we look forward to working with them in the future”.
