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.

 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. Membership is open to everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the Legion and want to help and give 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.

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.

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.

 

                    The Exhortation

               They shall  grow not old as we that are left grow old,

                 Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

                   At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

                                           We will remember them.                                

                          

                  The Command

                                                                                  When you go home tell them of us and say,

                                                                                    "For your tomorrow we gave our today".
