Our 2025-2026 Poppy Appeal is here with volunteers in their communities, raising funds for our veterans, serving personnel and their families. Your support is as vital as ever as we continue to make sure the unique contribution of our Armed Forces Community is never forgotten
The Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal raises vital funds to support the Armed Forces community. Our brilliant volunteers are back in force, bolstering fundraising efforts and championing our cause.
At any given moment, the RBL is helping over 7,000 veterans, serving personnel and their families.
