Clacton

Welcome to the Clacton on Sea Branch of The Royal British Legion

The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity and one of its largest membership organisations. Members get together through the network of branches and clubs all over the country and overseas to participate in social, fundraising and welfare activities.

 

Next Meeting: Tuesday       

7 May 2024  @ 19:30

 We would like to ask if anyone is willing to serve on the Committee, any volunteers would be gladly welcomed. If interested please contact a member of the Committee on the evening of the meeting.

 

 

 

The Branch are hoping to be able to provide the members with more, and varied social activities. Examples, going out for Sunday Lunches, trips to other clubs that are local to us, so that we can get people out and about again after a long period in Lock Down.

Also this year our Branch celebrates their 100th Anniversary as a RBL registered Branch, on the 16th November. We are looking into a celebration for that which we will inform you of at a later date.

 

 

The Royal British Legion continues to support its members especially through these difficult times.

About The Royal British Legion

We provide financial, social and emotional care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces - past and present and their families. The Legion is also the national Custodian of Remembrance and safeguards the Military Covenant between the nation and its Armed Forces and is best known for the annual Poppy Appeal and its emblem the red poppy.

Founded in 1921, the Legion is not just about those who fought in the two World Wars of the last century, but also about those involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting for the freedom we enjoy today.
