She said:"I did it when I lived in Lincoln in 2020 and 2021, and while I was there I raised about £4,400 over the two years and so when I moved over I really wanted to start it up over here." The poppy bands are made from plastic ribbon which is water-resistant and means they can be placed outdoors.Naomi added:"I make them up and ask for a minimum donation of £5. Some people are more generous and give more. I keep £1 for materials and the rest goes to the RBL.Laine Slaven and Naomi Spittle
