Mr Michie added: “The money raised from the Poppy Appeal enables us to provide life-changing support to those affected by many issues including poverty, mental health and disability. Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do – without their support we simply wouldn’t be able to run the Scottish Poppy Appeal.”
