I donate to the Royal British Legion; not out of nostalgia, not out of obligation and certainly not for a badge or a poppy shaped pat on the back.
I do it because when my grandad was shot on the Somme in the First World War, in the years that followed, they were there. When he needed it, they helped him stand up again. He lived until 1978 and he never forgot who showed up when it actually mattered.
The RBL deals in reality; veterans, widows, families, people who’ve already paid their share and more.
So here’s the ask, without any BS - if you only make one charitable donation in 2026, please make it to the Royal British Legion. If anyone has earned it, the people they help have - link
