Showing our appreciation to the Armed Forces Community

Published

26 October 2023

The Royal British Legions’ (RBL) Poppy Appeal raises vital funds – across the period of Remembrance – each year to support the Armed Forces Community, all year round. We hear from one of our own veterans, Paul, who served in the Army for 23 years. Now an Engineering Operations Manager in our Digital Intelligence business, Paul talks about his experience with the charity when they stepped-in to help after he left the Forces.

Providing support every step of the way

Life in the Forces comes with unique challenges for those serving and their families, both during and after service – and the Royal British Legion provides support every step of the way. That support comes in many forms; befriending services for those who are experiencing isolation, financial or housing support, and help with recovering from injury or illness.

As a company, we’re proud to be a founder signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and we stand shoulder to shoulder with the Armed Forces Community and veterans like Paul, as we know they need our support both on the battlefield, and at home.

The new plastic free poppy

A new plastic-free poppy, which is made from 100% paper, will be available alongside remaining stocks of the existing poppy design.
This revamped poppy is part of RBL’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its impact on the environment.
