The Royal British Legion serves as the United Kingdom’s largest Armed Forces charity and is proud to have football clubs throughout the country supporting the Poppy Appeal.

Since it was first worn as an act of Remembrance just over 100 years ago, the red poppy has become an enduring symbol of support for our Armed Forces. Remembrance unites people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds.

Every donation to the RBL’s Poppy Appeal raises vital funds to support the Armed Forces community all year round and ensures their unique contribution is never forgotten. 
RBL’s work is more vital than ever this year as the charity supports communities through additional hardships, from those struggling with social isolation, financial difficulties and unemployment, to those who have lost loved ones or are facing the threat of homelessness.
