Ancre Somme Association Charity extends gratitude for recent donation towards the Northern Ireland Purple Poppy Memorial.

The Ancre Somme Association Charity extends its gratitude to all who contributed to the £461.10 raised in aid of the Northern Ireland Purple Poppy Memorial before last night's match between Glenavon FC and Dundela Football Club.


Your contribution will enable the charity to construct a memorial honouring all animals that served in military conflicts from the First World War to the present.


We extend our gratitude to Glenavon Football Club for granting permission to conduct our collection at tonight's match.
