Welcome to the Royal British Legion here in Kent
We have recently updated our Kent County Website so do please have a look around at our various events using the menu button on the left of the screen!
We are the nation's leading Armed Forces charity providing care and support to all members of the Armed Forces past and present as well as their families.
The public are generally aware of this during the Poppy Appeal and Remembrance period from late October to mid November and we receive fantastic support with the majority of people wearing poppies.
Our work for our Armed Service family continues every day and we hope to have your support throughout the year. This can take many forms from a simple donation to the thrills of skydiving.
Take a look around our website to see how you can get involved.
THANK YOU
HOW WE HELP
If you've served in the Forces or are the dependant of someone who has served, The Royal British Legion's services are available to you. Around 9.5 million people in the UK are eligible for our support and we spend nearly £1.4 million a week helping those in the greatest need.
FUNDRAISING
We hope to make fundraising here in Kent a rewarding experience - fundraising doesn't have to be daunting and with our advice, tips and support, we hope you'll find it simple and fun. See our fundraising pages for more information and stand shoulder to shoulder with all who serve.
VOLUNTEERING
Our volunteers and supporters form the backbone of the Legion. Without them we would miss not just the money they raise on our behalf but the enthusiasm and human touch they bring to the work they do. See our Volunteering Opportunities page for more information.
