Branch Funds

From 1 October 2008, Legion Branches will be required to bank all funds over £1000 in a central bank account to be administered by head office.  This change is being introduced to maximise the return on Legion assets and so ensure that the Legion can continue to provide much needed welfare services to our beneficiaries in the serving and ex-Service communities.

Below are links to information about this new system. If you have any queries, please email branchfunds@britishlegion.org.uk.
