The Hornchurch branch of the Royal British Legion is celebrating more than �50,000 of donations during November.
The charity, based in Hornchurch High Street, netted �40,000 by selling poppies and �10,000 through donations and wreath sales.
And a further �6,625 was raised during a charity boxing event organised by Lee Brown Events.
“We are delighted,” said Terry Minshaw, one of the legion’s poppy appeal organisers.
