The Legion has been a voice for the Armed Forces community for over 100 years. Poppy Care Homes - Our six homes vary in size from 47 bedrooms to 76 bedrooms.

Join us to help ensure our veterans and serving personnel get the support they deserve. Some of the worthwhile projects that have been funded by generous donations include:

Personnel Recovery Centres - The Legion working with the MOD and Help for Heroes in funding Personnel Recovery Centres in the UK and Germany, where injured Service personnel can get the help and care they need to get back to their best. The Battle Back Centre - The Battle Back Centre will officially open in autumn 2012 and will be a national centre of excellence for adaptive sport and adventurous training to help Service personnel recover and either return to duty or reskill and make a successful transition to civilian life. The Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies - This centre is the first collaboration of its kind in the UK, where civilian engineers and scientists work alongside military doctors to reduce the effects of roadside bombs or Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Each is a safe, well-equipped environment, which is intended to be a real home, somewhere that our residents can feel comfortable, for however long they stay.

It's poppy time!

Our 2026 Poppy Appeal has well and truly launched and we would like to thank all our Branch members and Supporters who are getting out in their communities to gather donations, champion our cause and show support for the Armed Forces community. Over the next few weeks. Our PAO (Poppy Appeal Organiser) is doing his absolute best to bring in those donations, with regular stalls and of course attendance at the likes of Tesco’s and Asda’s.

However, please please do not hesitate to contact us if you can still help. We truly appreciate every single person that gives up a little time to help us make such a difference.
