It’s an exciting time to get involved, the Legion will be adapting a new-age approach

The Royal British Legion have been helping service people past and present for over 90 years and spend nearly £1.4 million a week carrying out our welfare support. Our services are flexible and wide ranging, from helping a young widow through an inquest to ensuring that an older veteran can stay independent in their own home.

Currently the biggest issues the welfare team are supporting are:

• Debt management with our benefits and money advisors
• Housing support through a wide range of statutory and charitable services
• Employment support through Civvystreet who help with training, qualifications, business start-up and employment advice
• Welfare breaks at centres including Byng House in Southport.

If you are a service or ex-service person or know a service or ex-service person and their family is in need, call the welfare team to discuss how we can help.
