The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity and one of its largest membership organisations. Members get together through the network of branches and clubs all over the UK and overseas to participate in social, fundraising and welfare activities.

The Branch committee meets quarterly. We also organise brunches several times a year to raise monies for the Welfare Fund.

Membership is open to everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the Legion and want to help and support those who have served and their families, come and join us. We welcome men and women of all ages, whether or not they have served in the Armed Forces.

Legion membership ensures that

• Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave Service men and women have made are never forgotten.
• The ex-Service community has a voice and its concerns are brought to the public eye.

Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities and events held throughout the year. Members receive free copies of the bi-monthly Legion magazine which keeps you up to date with news about the Legion's work around the UK and overseas and are entitled to discounts on affiliated Legion products, including Remembrance Travel.

The annual membership fee is ¥3,000.

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 two 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.
