How your donations help

The Royal British Legion is working hard to support the most vulnerable in our society, be it older veterans that we care for, those who suffer from social isolation, or those who are simply overwhelmed by their personal challenges. 

We provide support for members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, veterans and their families.  

The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign, held every year in October and November during the period of Remembrance. 

Every poppy makes a difference to the lives of our Armed Forces community. 

By making a donation, you’re helping us to help those in need within the Armed Forces community. Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular gift, no donation is too small to make a difference, so please donate today. 

In 2021, we raised 9.123,93 euros. In 2022, we raised over 13,000 euros. Thank you. We really couldn't do it without you.  We offer an enormous thanks to the people of Belgium for their generosity and kindness.  The locations below kindly stocked the 2023 poppy merchandise, we are exceptionally grateful to them for their support.
