Manifesto 2017

The Royal British Legion's Manifesto 2017 highlights five key priorities that we believe the government should be focusing on to help support the Armed Forces community.

Supporting mass Covid-19 testing

In 2019, WO2 Sergeant Major Sean Butcher was deployed on UN peacekeeping mission Op Tosca in Cyprus before, having only been home a few months, being sent, along with his unit, to support the NHS’s response to Covid-19.

The liberation of Bergen-Belsen

Discover how Bergen-Belsen became an infamous Nazi concentration camp in WW2 and what happened when it was liberated in 1945.

Paul Glazebrook

When Paul Glazebrook lost his comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan, he wanted to honour their memory with a special tribute.

The Army's counter-poaching operations

Since 2017 a new counter-poaching task force has trained more than 120 rangers to protect endangered wildlife in Malawi.

Covid-19 community response awards

The Covid-19 Community Response Awards aims to recognise the outstanding community activities that members, volunteers and supporters have delivered in response to the pandemic.

Starting again after the military

Nicholas Bennion is from the Pacific Islands of the island of Fiji. He joined the British Army in 2000 leaving his home and moving 9,800 miles to the UK.

Give a gift in memory

Giving a gift in memory is a touching way to remember someone special by honouring their life and supporting a cause that was important to them.

Holly Seabrook

"The process of bringing Poppy Supporter to market at the Royal British Legion was a mammoth challenge. I loved it!"

How we help people leaving the Armed Forces

Leaving the Armed Forces can throw up lots of challenges. That's why we provide a range of support to help people make a smooth transition to civvy street.

Family and Friendships

Between 1947 and 1963 a generation of young British men left their families behind while on National Service, and formed lifelong bonds with their fellow servicemen. Revisit their recollections with us.

Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance
