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.

Upminster and Cranham Branch meets once a month, usually on the second Sunday of the month, at our club - 316 St Mary's Lane, Upminster, Essex RM14 3HL.

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 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.

Remembrance Sunday 2026
The Upminster and Cranham Remembrance Sunday Parade will be held on Sunday 8 November. Everyone participating in the parade is asked to assemble at Upminster and Cranham Royal British Legion, 316 St Mary’s Lane, by 10.15am. There will be no parking at the Legion, but parking is available at the Coopers’ Company & Coborn School located next to the Legion. We also extend an invitation to anyone not participating in the parade to join us at Upminster War Memorial in Corbets Tey Road at 11.00am for an act of Remembrance and to observe the National Two Minutes’ Silence. Please join us to remember those who have been injured or killed in the service of their country. We are very grateful to the local police, St Laurence Church and Havering Council for making the parade possible
