Looe Branch Royal British Legion

Looe Branch Royal British Legion www.looerbl.co.uk - Meets on the 1st Monday of each month at 7.30pm at Looe Social Club, Quay Road, West Looe

The Legion provides financial, social and emotional support for those who have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces, their dependents and carers. The Legion was founded in 1921 as a campaigning voice for the ex-service community and over 300,000 members continue to ensure that this voice is heard. Although the needs or serving and ex-service people have changed over the years, we a

re still here to safeguard their welfare, interests and memory. British service people are in action around the world every day of the years. They know that if they need our support - now or in the future - the legion is always on active duty for them. The Legion is both a membership organization and a welfare charity; the two working together for the serving and ex-service community. Everyone is welcome to become a member of the Legion, while those eligible for support are people who have serve in the Armed Force, both regular and reserve, their dependents and carers. However it should also be noted that individuals DO NOT NEED to be members of the Legion to receive it's support.
