It is safe to say that all of us at RBLI have been completely overwhelmed with the national support behind the launch of our VE Day 2021 efforts.

With one month to go until the big day, it is clear to see that the nation is preparing to celebrate in style. In the short time since our VE Day products were launched, we have already had thousands of orders from the RBLI Shop.

This huge support means that RBLI can continue to provide life-changing help and employment to veterans and those with disabilities.

One thing is for certain, this year’s VE Day will be one to remember!

RBLI has been working closely with Royal Navy Veteran Mike on producing a new Tankard design to celebrate VE Day 2021.

Mike, who is a Royal Navy Veteran of 22 years, had to take on a less physical career after he was diagnosed with cancer. Nowadays, he makes bespoke, high quality glassware for RBLI.

These are available for a limited time only, so get your orders in before it’s too late!

With the current COVID restrictions easing, can we better it this year for VE Day 2021?

Being made or fulfilled by veterans at Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, proceeds from every sale of the VE Day 2021 products go towards supporting vulnerable veterans and people with disabilities.

Last year, the public’s tenacity for VE Day ensured RBLI’s veteran workforce was provided with secure employment during the most uncertain time the charity has ever seen.

This year, it is just as important as ever that the Nation rallies behind our heroes to ensure that a remarkable generation is remembered, and our current veterans are looked after.

“VE Day itself… It was sunny. Everyone was celebrating and we were all going in and out of everybody’s houses. There were balloons and union flags everywhere. I think they even started street parties. We didn’t have all that many cakes but there were a few. Not a lot as there was still rationing. Everybody was out in the street. Nobody made you go to bed – not on that day.”

We want to make sure that the needs and situations of our country’s military veterans are reflected in this nationally significant work.
