The Poppy Project has become a wonderful community-led tribute, bringing together local schools, childcare centres, community groups, clubs and residents to honour the service and sacrifice of our veterans and service personnel.

Each year, hundreds of handcrafted poppies are created using a variety of materials, showcasing the creativity, generosity and community spirit of our neighbourhood. From crocheted flowers lovingly made during craft sessions at the Community Centre to wooden poppies crafted by the Vincent Community Shed and Lake Monger Men's Shed and hand-painted by local children, every contribution helps tell a shared story of remembrance.

This collective effort has transformed the installation into a meaningful symbol of gratitude, connection and respect. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this community tribute, including:

This Remembrance Day, we invite our community to create a poppy display at home as a simple and meaningful way to honour the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country.

Whether it's a handmade poppy in your front garden, a window display, or a creative tribute with family and friends, every poppy is a visible reminder of our gratitude and respect for current and former service personnel.

Share your display with neighbours, start conversations about remembrance, and help create a community-wide tribute to those who have served. Lest we forget.
