About Royal British Legion
For over 100 years, the Royal British Legion has been fighting on behalf of our Armed Forces community. We believe that no-one who has served to protect our freedom should be disadvantaged because of the sacrifices they have made. The men and women of the Armed Forces play an extraordinary role in protecting our country, as well as providing support to other nations through peace keeping, conservation and humanitarian work.
We provide lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.Our support starts after one day of service and continues through life, long after service is over. From providing expert advice and guidance, to recovery and rehabilitation, through to transitioning to civilian life – we are by their side of veterans and their families every step of the way.
We campaign and advocate for the rights and fair treatment of all those who have served and their families - and through our championing of Remembrance, ensure that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
