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. We are best known for the annual Poppy Appeal and its emblem the red poppy.

Colchester Branch is one of the founding branches of The Royal British Legion we were formed on 11th August 1921; we do as much as we can for the community in Colchester and surrounding villages.
