Taupo RSA Trust

The Taupo RSA Trust provides welfare services and support to all Returned and Service people resident within the Taupo area; through income derived from the Taupo Poppy Appeal collection and income from its asset and investment portfolio.

The Taupo RSA Welfare Committee, on behalf of the Taupo RSA and Taupo RSA Trust, considers and implements all requests for welfare services and support.

Poppy Day, usually observed on the Friday before ANZAC Day (25 April), when the commemorative Red Poppy is exchanged for a donation from the NZ public, to fund the welfare needs of our local veterans, is the most important fund-raising activity of the year.
