We’ve been busy creating a host of new Tommy products for you to show your support, and pay your respects to our Armed Forces. Keep an eye out as they release over the coming weeks!

Our new Tommy Cufflinks make an excellent feature piece for a military supporter, or as a gift to a partner, friend or family member. They come
well-presented in a cushioned presentation box.

Available now for just £27.99!

Best of all, they’re fulfilled by veterans employed by RBLI’s social enterprise, Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company. All proceeds go towards RBLI’s efforts in supporting veterans, those with disabilities and people who are unemployed.

Our amazing community up and down the country have been holding amazing Tommy Teas to raise money for RBLI, come rain or shine.

One such fundraiser who battled the horrendous rain and lashing wind was Jacky, who held a Tommy Tea with her her friends and family. They kept calm and carried on in true British style, raising over £160!

Not only was there an incredible cake sale spread, but they got creative with games of bingo, a ‘his and hers’ swear jar and raffle prizes. Friends Martin and Louise bringing their Willy’s Jeep out in the rain really was the cherry on top! Thank you all that attended and to Jacky for organising such a fabulous day – the team at RBLI are feeling a bit envious… looking forward to next years invite…!

Our Emergency Services have undoubtedly played a big role in our nation’s battle with the Coronavirus pandemic, putting themselves in harms way and showing true bravery.

‘Supporting all our emergency services’ Velcro patch is now available on our online shop, courtesy of Tim and Paul, friends of RBLI who have raised over £50,000 for the charity so far.

The Friends of RBLI held a Golf day a Tudor Marriott Golf club on Friday 11^th June to raise funds in support of their annual cycle ride, raising over £2,500!

Our own Tirtha Thapa, Anil Gurung, Purna Gurung and Dawa Lama joined the 17 teams and enjoyed a round of golf in glorious weather followed by a celebratory supper in the evening when the prizes were handed out.

The money was raised for our Bike Ride Fundraiser, which leaves the RBLI Village in Kent on Friday 16th July to ride 150 miles to the National Cyclists Memorial in Meriden West Midlands.

Last Saturday 26th June marked Armed Forces Day 2021 and a ceremony was held in our Garden of Honour to raise the National Armed Forces support flag.

It was attended by The Mayor and Mayoress of Tonbridge and Malling, Deputy Lieutenant of Kent, Mr Trevor Sturgess, The Chair of Kent County Council, Mrs Ann Allen MBE, the OC 36 Engineer HQ Squadron, Mr Andy Britton and also a representative from The Royal Navy, Lieutenant Andrew Cope, Deputy Naval Liaison officer for The MOD.

The hospitality team, consisting of volunteer veterans from the STEP-IN programme at Mountbatten Pavillion did a fantastic job!
