9 Serving the Community PRIME MINISTER David Cameron Praises our Collection Efforts for the Poppy Appeal Prime Minister David Cameron said: I send my best wishes to the Ahmadiyya Muslim youth organisation who are supporting this year s Poppy Appeal. I m delighted to hear over 300 members will be out in force throughout November collecting at train stations and other places around the country. It s great to see so many young people giving up their own time to help those who have served our country while remembering those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Prime Minister TWEETS praise for our efforts

10 Serving the Community Messages of Support Poppy Appeal Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "Each year, hundreds and thousands of volunteers brave the cold to sell their poppies up and down the country...among those giving their time -and hoping to raise thousands of pounds- are the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, who will once again be selling poppies at underground and railway stations. This volunteer work represents an essential part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community s really important contribution to UK national life whether through helping to raise wider awareness and understanding of the Islamic faith, or fundraising and feeding the homeless, donating blood, and other charitable acts. So I d like to extend a big thank you to all those involved in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association... who will be out there with their collection boxes, selling poppies for the Royal British Legion.

11 Serving the Community Messages of Support Poppy Appeal Home Secretary Theresa May said: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association has a long tradition of raising money for good causes and has raised more than 1.5million for various charities including the Royal British Legion. I welcome this latest campaign by their youth association and would encourage everyone who sees them collecting for the Poppy Appeal to give generously. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson said: The Poppy Appeal gives us all the perfect opportunity to give something back to those brave men and women who have served our country, as well as support those who have helped them in their time of need. I know Londoners across the city will be joining me to help raise over a 1million on London Poppy Day so that the Royal British Legion can continue its excellent and life enhancing work. The fantastic efforts of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, which is hoping to raise a stonking 30,000, will help ensure we reach that target.
