Established in 1921, we offer a wide range of services, including financial assistance, housing support, access to health assistance, and employment advice.
We’re proud to support our Armed Forces personnel and serve as the nation’s champion of Remembrance. We believe Remembrance is for All and our mission is to unite communities, foster understanding across faiths, cultures, and backgrounds, and honour the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the Commonwealth.
Every year, our Poppy Appeal – a symbol of remembrance – helps raise funds for essential services that support those who have served and continue to serve our nation. Together, we can ensure that their legacy lives on.
The Royal British Legion is also a campaigning organisation, championing key issues and giving our Armed Forces community a voice, to help improve the lives of everyone in the Armed Forces community.
From before the First World War to recent conflicts, Black men and women have served, and continue to serve, with courage, honour and compassion.
Below are 6 videos sharing stories of service and sacrifice of some of these brave men and women.
