Our Armed Forces protect our values, freedoms and way of life, and we've got their back whenever they need us.
From peacekeeping to responding to natural disasters and civilian emergencies, they work tirelessly for the benefit of everyone in society.
Serving in the Armed Forces can take its toll, and the RBL is here to support everyone in the Armed Forces community, from serving personnel and veterans to families and the bereaved.
Our support starts after one day of service and continues through life.
From recovery services and financial support, to expert advice on money, debt, housing, employment and War Pensions, we are here to help whatever the need.
Support for Life
Through expert advice and practical support, we can help with many of life’s problems, no matter how many years have passed since finishing service.
If you are a veteran or member of the Armed Forces community in need of support, you can call us on 0800 802 8080. Our helpline is open from 8am - 8pm every day.
