Lanarkshire foreign aid headquarters lights up in support of the Poppy Appeal

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s joint HQ in East Kilbride is supporting the Scottish Poppy Appeal’s ‘Light Up Red’ campaign.

The landmark Abercrombie House site is glowing the same colour as the iconic red poppy in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday on November 13.

Almost 1000 staff work at the FCDO’s Scottish base, with plans to re-deploy a further 500 jobs to East Kilbride by December 2025 as part of the UK Government’s levelling-up agenda.
