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.

Blandford and District Branch Committee meets at 7:30pm every second Wednesday bimonthly at The Royal British Legion in Blandford.

Membership is open to everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the Legion and want to help and support for those who have served and their families, come and join us. We welcome men and women of all ages, whether they have served in the Armed Forces or not.

Legion membership ensures that:

• Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave servicemen and servicewomen have made are never forgotten.
• The ex-service community have a voice and that their concerns are brought to the public eye.

Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities and events held locally, regionally, and nationally throughout the year.

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. The Legion 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.
