Policy and Research | Royal British Legion

"I would urge other veterans to get in touch with charities like the Legion sooner rather than later if they need support too."

Andy
Former Royal Marine
"Members share a real sense of comradeship and a willingness to work together."

Liam Young
Veteran and Legion member
"No matter how long someone served or how long ago they left Service, there is a support network there for them and their families."

Tom Foy
Corporal in the RAF Regiment and local branch Standard Bearer
