The Poppy Factory

The Poppy Factory is the country’s leading employment charity for veterans with physical and/or mental health conditions.
We work with businesses across the country to provide bespoke opportunities and ongoing employment support for hundreds of wounded, injured and sick veterans into employment. This helps to restore veterans financial independence through sustainable and rewarding work. Since 2010, we have supported 1000 veterans back into civilian employment.
Our factory in Richmond also employs around 30 wounded, injured and sick veterans to produce the poppies, wreaths and symbols for the Royal Family and The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal, something we have been doing since we were founded in 1922.
