The Alicante Branch have Caseworkers, Hospital & Housebound visitors, and Telephone Buddies supporting our Beneficiaries here in Spain.
Many people still don’t know that The Royal British Legion is here and is active and ready to offer help and support to any beneficiary who qualifies for help.
Each case is dealt with in full confidentiality on an individual needs’ basis by the relevantly trained people, and in most cases, we can offer some help or support, if we can’t help at Branch level then we have fantastic support from District who will either assist or signpost you to another source of support.
If we can’t help We will assess & consider requests for help for qualifying beneficiaries or family members, this does not always mean a financial payment, it could be guidance in where to get information or how to access social services.
We are often asked about things such as how do we get a Blue badge, home help, meals on wheels etc and we can guide people to where they need to go.
The Legion often have liaison between the beneficiary and their Regiment, Ship or Unit when help is delivered. This can be as simple as safety features in a bathroom, or a mobility scooter, a red button alarm in the home for peace of mind, a walking frame or other equipment, the list of things requested and supplied are endless.
If you think you may need help, then please contact Janet using the details above. If you think someone you know may have served and needs some support encourage them to contact us as we cannot contact anyone directly without their permission, and we cannot discuss anyone’s Individual circumstances with a third party until we have their express permission to do so.
