Our Area Welfare Team is here to help. We are part of the Legion's extensive Poppy Support services. If you are serving, have served or are the dependent or carer of someone who has served in the UK's Armed Forces, then you are eligible for our help.
We can offer financial aid in an urgent crisis, help homeless ex-Service people get back on their feet, advise on compensation claims, offer careers advice for those looking to make a fresh start after leaving the Forces, arrange home or hospital visits and much more.
Our free telephone helpline is open to everyone, 8am - 8pm, 7 days a week.
Call 0808 802 8080 (free from UK landlines and main mobile networks).
You can also use our online self-help knowledge base to find the information you need.
Topics covered include:
Our branch proudly participates in the Branch Community Support (BCS) scheme, run by the Royal British Legion (RBL), to provide meaningful support to the Armed Forces community. BCS enhances the incredible work branches are already doing while helping others start offering this vital support.
Through this programme, we offer services such as telephone buddies and home and hospital visits to those in need.
If you're part of an RBL branch and would like to get involved, please contact your Membership Engagement Officer (MEO) to learn how to register and make a difference in your community.
Alternatively, this service can be accessed by calling the contact centre on 0808 802 8080.
