There are a number of benefits available to ex-Service persons and their dependants that are not commonly known. These benefits will be highlighted when they become known to us.  Click on the arrow to find out more information.

 

Wills are vital to The Royal British Legion as 20% of our income comes from Legacies left in Wills.  In the past year the Legion has received £9 million from Legacies, this has enabled the Welfare Services to help one in five of our beneficiaries.  So please consider helping to fund the Legion in years to come by making a donation in your Will.  Click on the arrow to find out more information.

 

We can offer advice and support in a wide range of areas, including war pensions, benefits, care homes and much more....

 

The County Team are based in Saxon House in Derby.  The County Team include the County Chairman, the County Secretary, the County Manager and the County Welfare Officer.
