Following the Branch Committee Meeting held on the 3rd July 2025. It was voted unanimously to move out of The RBL Club and relocate to All Saints Church, Leighton Buzzard, due to financial issues within The RBL Club. Both County and Area were made aware of the decision.

The Branch are pleased to announce the Poppy Appeal 2024 has now surpassed £36,000 (There are a few outstanding payments for wreaths still to come). Thank you for the amazing support.

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 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.
