This Saturday 82,000 rugby fans will fill Twickenham Stadium for the 101st match between the British Army and the Royal Navy for the Babcock Trophy

This year The Royal British Legion is honoured to have been chosen as Charity of the Day and we’ll be celebrating the unique contribution of our Armed Forces community as One Legion – United by Difference.

Despite the differences between the Army and Navy so evident on match day, it is these differences that ultimately make us stronger when we stand together.

The Royal British Legion has been supporting soldiers, sailors and airmen past and present since 1921, and we’ll be here as long as they need us.

£10,000 prize to be granted to the winner of the Heropreneurs Veterans’ Foundation Award

All too many veterans find leaving the Armed Forces, and returning to civvy street, a huge struggle due to physical injuries and mental health issues. This may result in homelessness, unemployment, family breakdown, and a dramatic deterioration in their well-being. The Veterans’ Foundation is a charity that was created to raise funds for military-related charities and other organisations that do excellent and effective work in helping veterans in need. This Heropreneurs Award category seeks to recognise an individual in civvy street, or a business, that has given outstanding help to such veterans.

Calling Notice – Cenotaph Remembrance Parade 11th November 2018 – Headley Court Charity

The Headley Court Charity was established in 1940 and in 1947 decided to acquire the estate at Headley Court in Surrey for the purpose of providing a facility for the medical rehabilitation of pilots and aircrew of the Royal Air Force. The facility opened in 1949 and the objects of the charity have since expanded to provide medical rehabilitation for all members of the armed forces.

This year the clinical facility will move to a new purpose built facility at Stanford Hall in the East Midlands and the MOD will vacate Headley Court.
