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.
RBL supports anyone who has served more than one day in the Armed Forces and their families too. The support we provide falls into five key areas:
Financial & employment support - our Benefits, Debt and Money Advice (BDMA) service provides specialist advice and practical help to serving personnel and veterans struggling with unmanageable debt and financial hardship. We help people to navigate the complex benefits system and build financial resilience, and work closely with Forces Employment Charity to help veterans find a job that's right for them.
Physical & mental wellbeing – we support wounded, injured or sick serving personnel and veterans through the Battle Back Centre, which uses adaptive sports and adventurous activities to rebuild confidence, improve motivation and give back a sense of camaraderie. As part of our Recovery Programme, we are the sole charity partner for Team UK at the Invictus Games.
Care & independent living – we provide advice, support and advocacy to enable disabled and elderly veterans to live well and safely in their own homes. We also offer specialist support for carers of people living with dementia through our national network of Admirals Nurses.
Expert guidance - our specially trained advisors help hundreds of veterans and their families to access the benefits, claim the pensions, and receive the compensation they deserve.
Local community connections – across local communities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, over 700 membership branches provide telephone buddying, hospital visits and camaraderie aimed at countering social isolation and loneliness.
