Gift Cards

Following the success of last year’s commemorative glassware, we’re proud to bring it back—this time with a completely new design created by Royal Marine veteran, Colin Waite. Available from 2nd November at The Swans in Verwood, this exclusive limited-edition glassware is a meaningful way to show your support during the Royal British Legion&#8217;s Poppy Appeal.
Choose from a half pint glass (£2.50) or a pint glass (£3.00)—a perfect keepsake to enjoy all year round. Each stylish glass is a lasting tribute to your support for the Armed Forces community.
100% of profits from every sale go to the Royal British Legion: £0.83 from each half pint glass, £1.19 from each pint glass.
These amounts are paid to Royal British Legion Trading Limited, which donates its taxable profits to the Royal British Legion (Charity No. 219279) and Poppyscotland (Scottish Charity No. SC014096).
Alongside the glassware, we’ll be hosting family-friendly events and fundraising activities throughout the period—bringing the community together to show appreciation and support.
Visit us to collect your glass and be part of something meaningful.

This year’s glassware features artwork by Colin Waite, a Royal Marine veteran whose journey brings deep meaning to this campaign. Colin joined the Royal Marines in 1977 and served on HMS Fearless during the Falklands War. He lost several comrades and has lived with survivor’s guilt and severe PTSD ever since.
Rediscovering his love of art gave Colin a new lease of life. His work includes portraits of Argentinian prisoners, former comrades, and casualties of the conflict. He has created 258 pieces—one for every British military member and the three Falkland Islanders who died during the war.
“The Royal British Legion has provided lots of practical support to me. They have been brilliant with me, it’s an honour to be able to give back and support the charity.” – Colin Waite
By choosing this year’s commemorative glass, you’re not only getting a meaningful keepsake—you’re supporting a veteran’s journey and helping others like him through the work of the Royal British Legion.
