It's time to do your bit

Take action!

Thanks to our supporters, many MPs have already pledged to do their bit. We've also prepared a bar chart that shows how the parties compare. We hope the Government will take note of the breadth of support for the Legion and ensure our manifesto is implemented during the lifetime of this parliament. 

  • Email your MP
    to ask them to pledge to do their bit for the whole Armed Forces family.
