RSA Poppy Appeal 2025

The RSA has been supporting New Zealand’s veterans of military service and their whānau for over 100 years.

The number of veterans in New Zealand grows every year, and many face long-term effects on their physical or mental health as a result of their service.

Because the RSA isn’t funded, they require your help to continue delivering support services to veterans in the communities they live in.

Each April, the RSA holds the Poppy Appeal to raise the funds they need, and there are many ways you can donate.

Keep an eye out for poppy boxes in participating local retailers or for collectors out during the Poppy Day Street Appeal on 11 April.

You can also donate anytime online at www.rsa.org.nz/donate or by texting Poppy to 8595 to instantly donate $3.
