RBL is a national network that is there to support members of the Armed Forces. From helping veterans and families in emergency situations to rehabilitation.
Make your donations go further with Gift Aid at no extra cost to you. If you are a UK taxpayer, for every £1 you give to the Legion, we receive an extra 25p from HM Revenue and Customs - it costs you nothing.
