An Andover couple have been praised for their remarkable dedication to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal after raising an incredible £13,337.88 in just two weeks at Tesco in Andover.
Sandra and Terry Fluen generously gave up two weeks of their own time to collect donations from shoppers in support of the 2026 Poppy Appeal, helping to raise vital funds for the Armed Forces community.

Their efforts saw local residents dig deep into their pockets, with the couple collecting an impressive £13,337.88 during this year’s appeal.
The remarkable total highlights not only Sandra and Terry’s commitment and generosity but also the kindness of the Andover community, which continues to show its support for serving personnel, veterans and their families.
For two weeks, the couple dedicated their time to collecting donations, demonstrating the difference that local volunteers can make to a national cause.
The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal raises funds to provide essential support to members of the Armed Forces community, including those facing financial hardship, health challenges and difficulties adjusting to civilian life.
Sandra and Terry’s fundraising achievement is a wonderful example of community spirit, with their hard work helping to make a real difference to those who have served their country.
A huge thank you goes to Sandra and Terry Fluen for their outstanding efforts, and to everyone who donated at Tesco Andover during the two-week collection.
Their dedication deserves recognition, and Andover can be proud of two local people who have given so much of their time to support such an important cause.
