Joel James MS Joins Poppy Appeal in Aberdare

Joel James MS on the Poppy Appeal Stand

Joel James MS, Regional Member of the Senedd for South Wales Central, has today joined the local Royal British Legion Aberdare team to sell Poppies in Tesco Aberdare.

Joel continued his annual tradition of volunteering at the Tesco Aberdare Poppy stand and selling poppies to customers after they had completed their shopping.

Speaking about his morning, Joel said:

I had a wonderful time selling Poppies today on behalf of the Royal British Legion at Tesco in Aberdare, alongside Sheryl, who represents Aberaman on Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and Gwyneth.

We received many generous donations for this worthy cause—thank you to everyone who stopped by!

A special thanks to my friend Davey Barton, the Poppy Appeal Organiser for Aberdare, who organised the stand and continues to raise thousands of pounds each year for the Royal British Legion.
