Ivybridge

Welcome to the Ivybridge Branch of The Royal British Legion

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 Ivybridge Branch meetings normally take place on the (PLEASE NOTE CHANGE) SECOND  Wednesday of the month at the Constitutional Club. 7pm for 7.30 start. All are welcome.

Next meeting will be on 9 Apr, then 14 May. All are welcome

You DO NOT need to be a club member to attend our meetings

About The Legion

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.
