We’re pleased to announce the return of Light a Candle this Christmas!

Taking part in this Christmas’s Light a Candle gives you the opportunity to create online memorials throughout the festive period.

Christmas is a special time to celebrate with family and friends, and our virtual candles are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to loved ones who are no longer with us.

We'll be sharing virtual candles on our page between 15 and 21 December. There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We look forward to sharing your memorials from 15 December.

Every £25 donation makes a real difference.
The Royal British Legion regularly answers urgent calls - veterans unable to pay energy bills, families facing eviction, and serving personnel overwhelmed by debt.
£25 can help to fund that vital first conversation with the RBL casework team, who are ready to help and advise whatever the issue.
By purchasing an eligible Golden Charter plan, you’ll help fund this important work through our partnership with the Royal British Legion.
T&Cs apply.
