RBLI Fundraising & Events
Support Britain’s Bravest
At RBLI we help veterans and their families in their time of need and support them to live the most independent life possible. Since 1919 we have provided crucial accommodation, welfare and employment support to injured veterans and people with disabilities. Right now for every person we can help, there’s one we can’t.
That’s why we need people like you; with more funding, we can grow our village, support more people who need us and help them to find their purpose again.
Join #TeamTommy and #TeamBrave
Got your own place?
If you’ve already got your own place in an event, do something amazing and use your place to support veterans and those with disabilities.
Whether it’s the Great North Run, Hastings Half or Three Peaks Challenge, if you’ve already registered your own place with the event organiser, we’d love you to use it to fundraise for RBLI. Anything you raise will help us provide the services our veterans need.
Let us know that you are fundraising for us today! Join our online community of other passionate fundraisers and you’ll receive an RBLI technical t-shirt and fundraising pack.
Host your own Event!
Here you’ll find lots of inspiration to help you with your fundraising for our charity! Organise your own quiz, raffle or cake sale (known around here as a Tommy Tea) or take on a physical challenge in support of veterans and their families. Our friendly and helpful fundraising team is on hand to help you get started and is always available for advice.

The Tommy community is probably the best group I’m privileged and proud to be part of, there’s always someone ready and willing to help. Without the RBLI this community wouldn’t exist!
