The Legion At Work
In the past few months the
Legion has undertaken research into the serving and
ex-Service community and how it can adapt Poppy Support to
help them. For copies of the current research.
The New Royal Charter
First granted to the Legion in 1925, The Royal Charter lays
down the objects and the powers of the organisation as a
whole. A new 'plain-English' version recently came into force,
bringing the language fully into the 21st century. All
members, volunteers and field staff should now work from the
new Charter.
