After a gruelling 150 miles cycling through the weekend’s tremendous heat, the team of 50 on RBLI’s Ride with a Veteran successfully arrived at their destination; Meriden’s iconic cycling memorial.

The group have raised an incredible £40,000 so far, heading increasingly towards their target of £50,000.

It’s still not too late to donate to the cause!

Every penny raised goes directly to supporting military veterans and their families through RBLI’s wide range of services.

RBLI’s life-sized Tommy Statue has a poignant and effective purpose; to serve in communities as a universal, touching reminder to those who have been killed in service.

As previously seen around the UK at prominent locations such as The Tower of London and the White Cliffs of Dover, as well as abroad in cities such as New York, San Francisco and Toronto, the Tommy Statue has been fresh re-engineered and is now back and available to order!

The Tommy Statue is now being widely adopted by councils and local authorities nationwide as a way for communities to pay tribute to those who have given their lives, representing the sacrifices and loss that communities paid during WW1 and WW2.

Does your area have one of our Tommies? If not, don’t be afraid to write to your local councillor and request one – we believe every community in the UK should have one. 

Do you fancy 1,500 miles around the UK in a £500 car?

We would love to see a team driving for RBLI in this years Veterans Banger Rally – an event created by veterans, for veterans in which the participants buy a car for just £500 and travel 1,500 miles in a trip around the UK!

The entry fee goes directly to the organisers (Ex-Navy) to help host such an incredible event and there are prizes for the best banger! To have some immense fun, build memories for life and at the same time raise money for RBLI, get your team together and get in touch now!

Event Date: 7^th September – 11^th September.

We are very excited to see Leyton Orient Football Club’s home shirt, complete with the Tommy Club sponsorship now in the club shop – nearly time for the season to Kick Off!

 It will be a very proud moment indeed on 14th August when the ‘The O’s’ play their first home game to a stadium of 9,000 fans with Tommy emblazoned on their chests and the brand new Tommy Club hoardings on the sidelines!

Do any of our supporters live near The Breyer Group Stadium who can go and see it in person?
