Meir, Longton & District Branch of the Royal British Legion in North
Staffordshire was formed in 195*.
The Royal
British Legion was formed in 1921 and is the nation’s premier ex-service
charity. Its objects include promoting the welfare of ex-service men and
women and their dependents and relieving hardship among them where it
exists; raising and distributing money for these purposes; assisting
serving men and women to return to civilian life. Meir, Longton & District Branch carries
out these objectives locally, from visiting the sick to obtaining grants
for welfare purposes or arranging convalescence. Remember you don’t have
to be a Legion Member to ask for help from us.
