The Royal British Legion has a Branch at Heckington which meets at the Heckington Sports Club on the
third Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm. There are currently 15 members in order that we may continue to
carry out the exceptionally valuable work of this organisation.
The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921 to care for the welfare of those tens of thousands of troops
returning from the trenches of the First World War. But the Legion is as relevant today as it ever was. We
need people to deliver the huge welfare programme to the ex-Service and Serving community; and we
need people to join our team of volunteers and help the Legion’s Poppy Appeal to keep on growing.
With the ever-increasing demand on the Legion’s services, we need your help more than ever.
If you would like to consider becoming a member of The Royal British Legion (and you need not have
served in Her Majesty’s Forces to do so), please contact the Chairman, as above.
