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!

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. 

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.

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

In our Women in War booklet, the foreword is written by the highest ranking female officer in the Army, we have stories of bravery from female veterans in the Second World War, illustrations and archive images of the time.

Join us to celebrate Women in War, for their selfless contribution and dedication that helped to win our freedom.

Purchasing items from our shop creates vital employment to veterans and those with disabilities, it also helps to raise awareness for the sacrifices made by Women in War. All proceeds from each sale help RBLI fund vital services across the organisation.

Over 70,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers are estimated to have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the war against Japan. For many, VJ Day symbolises the end of a long period of suffering and unrest.

At midnight on August 15th 1945, the new British Prime Minister Clement Atlee announced the news, stating “The last of our enemies is laid low”.

As well as providing vital employment to veterans and those with disabilities, all proceeds from each sale help RBLI to support today’s veterans.

Join us in wearing a VJ Day Lapel Pin in August, and as a nation, we can remember the events of the past, and the generational sacrifices made to give us the life we live today.

Lets support the veterans of today by remembering the sacrifices of the past.
