Honiton Royal British Legion – 100 Years, and beyond, Supporting The Community
In early 1921 Great Britain witnessed the formation of The British Legion. Honiton saw the benefits of such an organisation and was quick to form a branch of The British Legion in the early days of the organisation. The Honiton Branch of what is now The Royal British Legion was formed on 19th July 1921 and is still alive and strong in the Town 104 years later.
The club has come and gone and was a local well supported club for 50 years, but the Honiton Branch of The Royal British Legion has survived and still boasts a membership of nearly 100. The Branch has been running the local Poppy Appeal and organising the annual festival of remembrance in Honiton since its formation. As well as these annual events it also continues to support members of the armed forces and service community when asked to do so as well as actively fundraising for its specific causes.
The Honiton Branch of The Royal British Legion has supported the Armed Forces Family in Honiton has only continued to operate for the last 100 years because of the support of its dedicated Branch management and committee. For it to survive in the future it needs younger people to take over the reigns and manage the Branch in the future. As a process of future proofing the Branch, the Branch is now actively seeking like minded people to take over the reigns and manage the Branch into the future. Is there anyone in Honiton who is ready to take up the challenge. If you are that person please get in touch through the normal channels.
