Welcome to The Royal British Legion in Leicestershire and Rutland 

We are here to administer and support the delivery of welfare services and the membership and fundraising activities of the Legion's branches and clubs throughout Leicestershire and Rutland.

If you have spare time on your hands our Branches are desperately short of active members, volunteers, who keep the work of the Legion moving at a local level. We are constantly in need of volunteers to help with the welfare work, the Poppy Appeal and local branch 'management'. If you can spare just a couple of hours every month then please contact either your local branch or the County Secretary for further information. The work can be rewarding and fulfilling and you will be helping your local community too.

Membership of The Royal British Legion is available to all adults, not just members or ex-members of the forces and we always welcome new members. Just fill in a membership form and take it along to your local branch. Don't forget to also fill in your Direct Debit form too. That way you wont forget to renew your membership next year.
