| OUR COMMUNITY - Teddington British Legion |
|
|
The Royal British Legion provides financial, social and emotional support to millions who have served and are currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their dependents. Currently, nearly 10.5 million people are eligible for support and the Legion receives thousands of calls for help every year. The Legion was founded in 1921 as a voice for the ex-Service community and the Legion is still there to safeguard their welfare, interests and memory. British service people are in action around the world every day of the year and if they need the Legion’s support - now or in the future – it is there for them. The Legion is probably best known for its role as the nation's custodian of Remembrance and for the Poppy Appeal which is organised annually, raising almost £25 million which goes towards vital welfare work. We have a very flourishing Legion in the High Street in Teddington .The main event is the annual Remembrance Service on Remembrance Sunday at the town War Memorial outside Teddington Memorial Hospital.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them.”
