We are all volunteers

The Royal British Legion is the UK’s largest Armed Forces charity, with 180,000 members, 110,000 volunteers and a network of partners and charities; helping to make sure we can provide support wherever and whenever it’s needed.

From being at the end of a phone line and visiting veterans in their local area, to holding Remembrance and community events across the world, our members help us reach those who need us most.

Whether you’re a fundraiser, volunteer, member or proud Poppy Appeal collector – however you choose to support us, we couldn’t do it without you.

As a voluntary organisation, we rely on community support to cover our expenses. We use your donations to run the branch. All our funding comes from personal donations and membership fees which are entirely separate from the Poppy Appeal. The RBL never uses Poppy Appeal funds for Branch administration.

Donations can be made via the Bizum option on your bank app. Select ‘Bizum’ and then ‘Donate to NGO’ (Donativo a una ONG or Hacer donativo, depending on the bank). Insert the remittance code ‘08525’ and the amount. Bizum does not charge a fee for this transaction, everything you donate will be received in its entirety.
