  • British Defence Policy Since 1997: Background Issues
    RESEARCH PAPER 08/57 British defence policy 27 JUNE 2008 since 1997 British defence policy has altered significantly since the Labour Government came to power in 1997. Those changes have been prompted largely by the shifting nature of the strategic environment over that period, and in particular the events of 11 September 2001. However, the strategic foreign policy objectives of former Prime Minister Tony Blair have also helped to shape the direction of British defence policy and have had a fundamental impact on the role, structure and welfare of the Armed Forces. This paper is not intended to be a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of defence policy since 1997, but an introduction to some of the main issues that have shaped the defence agenda in that time. It also examines the prospects for defence since Gordon Brown became Prime Minister in June 2007. Background to some of the themes in this paper is available in Library Research Paper RP08/58, British Defence policy since 1997: background issues. This paper should also be read in conjunction with Library Research Paper RP08/56, British foreign policy since 1997.

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING TO MARK THE 90 TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION Tuesday 20 th September 2011 11.00 am 2 NINETY YEARS STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH OUR ARMED FORCES TH THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION CELEBRATES ITS 90 ANNIVERSARY IN 2011 Following the Armistice of 1918, a great civilian force of men-at-arms came home, only to find that a nation soon forgets. Out of the distress and disappointments, they united in comradeship to form, in 1921, The British Legion. Dedicated to the two-fold task of remembrance and service, it sought to change the whole concept of how a nation should remember and care for those who had suffered as a result of war. The main purpose of the Legion was straightforward: to care for those who had suffered as a result of service in the Armed Forces in the Great War, whether through their own service or through that of a husband, father , or son. The suffering took many forms: the effect of a war wound on a man’s ability to earn a living and support his family; or a war widow’s struggle to give her children an education. Since the Second World War, when there have been more than seventy campaigns involving British Service men and women, the Legion has continued in its caring work of helping the disabled and the needy. Throughout the years that have followed, the Legion – now The Royal British Legion – has come to be recognised as the authoritative voice of the ex-service community.

  • Northern Pathways
    NORTHERN PATHWAYS A Guide to Services for the Armed Forces Community in the North of Scotland Foreword By Keith Brown MSP I am pleased to support the launch of the first resource guide for the Armed Forces community in the North of Scotland. This guide has been developed by the team at Poppyscotland Inverness ably supported by members of the local Armed Forces Community Covenant Partners’ groups, and will serve as a vital reference point for members of the Armed Forces community in the North of Scotland. The Highlands of Scotland and the surrounding areas have always been a strong recruiting ground for the Armed Forces. The area has also been home to a significant number of large military bases which has seen many servicemen and women who have been based at them resettle in the areas where they once served. Recent research suggests that the North of Scotland is home to approximately 20% of Scotland’s Armed Forces community. It is, therefore, essential that we empower these individuals with the knowledge of the support that is available to them and I firmly believe that this guide achieves this. The Scottish Government places great importance on our Armed Forces community, most recently set out in our “Renewing Our Commitments” strategy. Consistent with this strategy and the values of the Armed Forces Covenant, I am clear that the whole nation has a moral obligation to members of the Armed Forces and their families. They should suffer no disadvantage as a result of their service and deserve the best possible support, when needed.

The idea for a chronicle of the First World War, told through the songs and documents of the time, was given flesh and blood in Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop, where every produc- tion was the fruit of close co-operation between writer, actor and director. The whole team participated in detailed research into the period and in the creative task of bringing their material to life in theatrical terms.

  • The Strategy for Our Veterans
    The Strategy for Our Veterans HM Government The Royal British Legion Consultation Response February 2019 For further information or for clarifications please contact Andy Pike, Public Policy Manager on [email protected] Page 1 of 92 1. About us The Royal British Legion is at the heart of a national network that supports our Armed Forces community through thick and thin – ensuring that their unique contribution is never forgotten. We were created as a unifying force for the military charity sector at the end of the First World War, and still remain one of the UK’s largest membership organisations. The Legion is the largest welfare provider in the Armed Forces charity sector, helping veterans young and old transition into civilian life. We help with employment, financial issues, respite and recovery, through to lifelong care and independent living. For further information, please visit www.britishlegion.org.uk 2. Our Response To inform our response, the Legion undertook four focus groups across England in Leeds, Plymouth, London and Colchester, one focus group in Belfast, one in Cardiff and four in Scotland on the content of the Strategy consultation. These focus groups were carried out in January 2019 and involved members of the Armed Forces community, staff, sector partners and Legion members. Additionally over 100 supporter and beneficiary responses to the strategy consultation have been shared with us, including via the Legion’s website. In Scotland our sister charity Poppyscotland will be responding directly to the Scottish Government. However, as not all matters are devolved, Poppyscotland has additionally provided comments on the UK Government Veterans Strategy.
