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.
The objectives of The Royal British Legion are to look after the ex-Service community not only just after they return to civilian life, but during their entire lives. Wherever an ex-Serviceman or woman needs help, The Royal British Legion is there to give a helping hand. If you need help, have a question about what we can help you with, or know someone who would benefit from The Royal British Legion, please contact the Help Line;
RBL Welfare Help Line : 0808 802 8080
Don't forget the Handy Van Service too, which provides free home maintenance services for eligible members.
Also please visit www.britishlegion.org.uk for details of our charitable work.
Membership is open to everyone. You do not have to have been a member of the armed forces to join The Royal British Legion, and Pawlett Branch is associated with a very active and friendly Club at which you would be made very welcome. If you wish to join or renew your membership, please go to https://selfservice.britishlegion.org.uk/
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 Service men and women 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 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.
