Can we help?
Around 9.5 million people in the UK are eligible for our support and we receive thousands of calls for help every year. If you served in the Forces for at least 7 days or are the dependant of someone who has served, our extensive range of services is available to help you.
Welfare support for Service men and women, past and present, and their families
Poppy Support is the umbrella term for our wide range of welfare services. It is split into a number of categories, described below. One in six people are eligible for our support and we spend over £60 million each year to assist them.
Poppy Advice
We can offer advice on War Pensions, Compensation Claims, Benefits and Money matters and also careers advice for those leaving the Forces.
Poppy Funds
We can provide funds in a temporary crisis, such as homelessness, or assist with loans for property repairs. And we support other charities that share our aims.
Poppy Homes
We provide short and long-term care for ex-Service people and their dependants in our seven Poppy Homes around the country.
Poppy Breaks
If you need a break, visit one of our four Poppy Break Centres, located in some of the country's most popular, traditional seaside resorts.
Poppy Calls
Poppy Calls provides a free dedicated handy person service to those unable to carry out small repairs and minor alterations in their homes.
Poppy People
Volunteers are vital to the Legion - as well as Poppy Collectors, we need people to provide emotional support and practical help in your local community.
Poppy Travel
We offer Remembrance and Battlefield Tours to war cemeteries, memorials and battlefields worldwide, with each tour designed as a relaxing and informative holiday. We specialise in customising tours for schools and other groups. Anyone can travel with Poppy Travel - you don't need to be a Legion member.
