We understand that life is hard sometimes and it can be difficult to know where to look for help.
That’s why our support team are on the ground every day trying to reach those most in need.
We’re not the emergency services but if you’re struggling, the Royal British Legion can help you get back on your feet.
We understand that people in the community give up a lot to be part of the Armed Forces. We know that family life and relationships can suffer. And sometimes transitioning to civilian life can be even harder.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to reach their potential and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
If you’re hungry, have nowhere to stay, or feel you have nowhere else to turn, we can be there for you.
Whatever your circumstances, our team are there to help, without judgement, and provide a safe space for everyone in the Armed Forces community to access the support they need.
We also know that everyone is different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Our support team will work with you to explore what you need and the best way that we can help. This might be accessing services RBL already provides or connecting you with another organisation.
Read our eligibility criteria for support here on the RBL website.
What can we help you with?
Our support team help people from all backgrounds who are facing a variety of – and often multiple – issues.
Our team can provide a variety of support, including:
- If you or your family are experiencing hardship, our support team can help you to access the specialist services you might need. Additionally, we can advise you if you’re having difficulties after being referred for another service.
- Support with homelessness, mental health problems, domestic violence or drug and alcohol addiction.
- Our team are also able to provide practical and emotional support.
Whatever your circumstances, we’re here to help make sure that you can access the support you need to get your life back on track.
You may also be referred to RBL’s support team by another organisation. In this case we will work together to ensure you receive the help you need.
How does it work?
We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Your experience with us will depend on your needs and will be tailored to you. After an initial assessment, our team will review your circumstances and advise on next steps. In some cases we may simply be able to refer you another RBL service or we can provide more personalised, hands-on support.
