Since the Royal British Legion was founded in 1921, our members, staff, volunteers and partners have dedicated their time and effort to supporting the Armed Forces community and remembering their sacrifice.
To mark our 100th birthday, we launched the Reward and Recognition scheme where everyone across the RBL family was invited to nominate people who deserved to be recognised for their significant contributions to our work.
The awards recognise the outstanding actions of individuals in five categories; service, collaboration, passion, excellence and valuing our people.
From the moment we launched the scheme, the nominations came flooding in and after a robust check on the quality and standard of submissions, we were left with over 400 tales of inspiration and determination from groups and individuals across the organisation, all of whom are equally deserving of recognition in our Centenary year.
Here we celebrate the contributions of our amazing RBL People who have helped to make our organisation the fantastic place that it is. Search by name or use the filters below to explore the nominees.

In 2008, Mark, a New Product Developer at Coventry Building Society, established the Poppy Savings Account. Every year, the Society makes a donation to the RBL based on how much members have saved, an innovation that has since raised nearly £19 million for the charity.
Passionate about the cause, Mark has also given his time and expertise to develop fundraising ideas with the corporate team, and is a vital advocate of the RBL at the Society.
