Legion in the Community
In 2003 the Legion carried out a review which recommended that an initiative called, Legion in the Community (LIC) be instigated at branch & County level give exciting new opportunities for everyone to get involved in Legion work within their local communities.
The aims and objectives of this initiative are to raise public awareness of what the Legion does in local communities, to promote the Legion as an active membership organisation and to invite local people to get involved with welfare and membership activities of the Legion.
After a successful pilot scheme, Legion in the Community was fully incorporated into the Legion way of life. New publicity materials and information about the Legion have been produced and made available to Counties, Branches & volunteers.
Today, Legion in the Community continues to grow and evolve with more and more Counties, Branches, Members and Volunteers raising awareness of The Royal British Legion through various events and activities such as:
- County Shows
- Local Fetes/Fairs
- Open Evenings
- Concerts
- Veterans Day (now Armed Forces Day)
- attending Carnivals, Military Air Shows & Military Open Days.
Plus many, many more ……
