FOR ALL WELFARE MATTERS TELEPHONE 672 025 756
Welcome to the RBL Coin Welfare Team. We have a large wealth of information between us, and we are dedicated to help where ever and when ever we can.
WELFARE ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for welfare support you need to be a beneficiary. A beneficiary is someone who has served in one of the Forces, including the T.A., and who has received a minimum of seven days' pay. A beneficiary's dependent, for example husband, wife or partner are also eligible.
The Welfare Team also receives calls from non-beneficiaries who just require advice, the Team will, of course assist with anyone's enquiries and direct them to the appropriate agency.
All of our endeavors on your behalf are in TOTAL confidence.
Our Team is
Chairman. Pauline (Polly) Harpin.
Vice Chairman. Denise Walker
Secretary Eric Wallis
Caseworkers Jo Taylor
David Harpin.
Pam Cross
Marilyn Sawyer
Sandra Wallis
We have all attended The Royal British Legion Welfare Course, and are here to help you. Our Motto is,
" If In Doubt Shout"
So if you think we may be able to help, just give one of us a call, and even though you may not qualify as a Beneficiary, we will give advice to any RBL member.
Or if you would like to become a volunteer please contact ME.
If the main welfare number is unavailable please contact Denise on 952 453 829.
Best regards

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION
UK Project - Retirement Abroad
Dear All
Just by way of a quick introduction, my name is Lisa Wise and I'm the Head of Public Policy at Head Office in London.
Earlier this year the Legion accepted an invitation from Age Concern to work together on a range of initiatives that would strive to improve the information and support given to those thinking of retiring abroad, provide people with more information on welfare services available abroad, and reduce some of the barriers to repatriation to the UK.
The first part of this project was a conference in London involving over 80 interested organisations. Part of the conclusions of this conference was that more research was needed into the difficulties/experiences of UK citizens who lived abroad. Age Concern have agreed to lead on this research. Part of the research project involves an online survey. We have included some of the information on the survey and a link on the Legion's website.
The reason for my email is to ask you to promote the survey amongst members where you live. This could be as simple as forwarding on this email. We are not looking for a huge commitment, just encouragement through your usual channels. The link to the survey is on the front page of the Legion's website www.britishlegion.org.uk or simply click on the link below to take you straight to the relevant page.
All information, including personal details, collected will only be used for the purposes of the research.
The Age Concern staff member conducting the survey is called Anna Garrett and she will also be meeting with three overseas co-ordinators to canvas their experiences first hand when they visit London on 26 September.
Many thanks and kind regards.
