A Swindon MP has been backing the latest Poppy Appeal by raising funds in Parliament.
Will Stone, the Labour MP for Swindon North, took part in this year’s IPT Poppy Ride, a five-minute charity cycling challenge in support of the 2026 Poppy Appeal.
The event, held annually in Westminster, sees MPs and Peers cycle as far as they can in five minutes to raise awareness and donations.
Mr Stone, a former soldier, said: "As Remembrance Day approaches, it’s a timely reminder that the Poppy Appeal helps veterans and their loved ones get the support they need, long after their service has ended."
He has previously voiced strong support for veterans, working alongside charities such as Head Up and urging the government to expand opportunities for former service personnel.
Since his election as an MP, Mr Stone has raised vocal support for veterans, supporting the community through working alongside veterans charities like Head Up and urging the government to provide veterans with more opportunities.
