Goldenhill and Sandyford RBL (Royal British Legion)

Goldenhill & Sandyford Branch of the Royal British Legion in North Staffordshire was formed in 1946 and it is one of the many branch's founded in Stoke-on-Trent by the amazing Major John Bamford MBE TD JP one of North Staffordshire's County Vice Presidents. The branch standard carries the honour of the 50th Anniversary Streamer Pennant.
The Royal British Legion was formed in 1921 and is the nation’s premier ex-service charity. Its objects include promoting the welfare of ex-service men and women and their dependents and relieving hardship among them where it exists; raising and distributing money for these purposes; assisting serving men and women to return to civilian life. Goldenhill & Sandyford Branch carries out these objectives locally, from visiting the sick to obtaining grants for welfare purposes or arranging convalescence. Remember you don’t have to be a Legion Member to ask for help from us.
Goldenhill & Sandyford Branch meets on the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:00 pm in the Goldenhill Workingmans Club, Kidsgrove Road, Goldenhill. New members are always welcome to join and these days you don't have to have an ex-service connection.
The Branch organizes the annual Poppy Collection in and around the area, Goldenhill & Sandyford's annual Remembrance Parade on the second Sunday of November, this marches off at 10:00 am. The Branch also observes the TWO MINUTES SILENCE at 11:00 am on 11th November.
