Welcome to the Cornwall British Legion web site.
The site has just undergone a major review and is still work in progress. I would ask you to please be patient with us until it is complete. In the mean time please take a look at the new Blog as this is where all the latest news and information will be posted.
Thank you for you patience.
"The Royal British Legion provides welfare to the whole Armed Forces family – serving, ex-Service and their dependants. We also campaign on a range of issues affecting Service people, are the custodian of Remembrance, run the annual Poppy Appeal and are one of the UK's largest membership organisations
Our welfare work continues to expand and diversify as the welfare needs of the population evolve. The current number of potential beneficiaries for our Poppy Support services is estimated at 9.5 million. The mission of The Royal British Legion is to reach out to the 500,000 who we believe are in the greatest need.
During the last few years, the Legion has introduced new services and extended the reach of existing ones. We spend over £1.2 million a week on our welfare work and as a result, we can help around 100,000 people each year."
