MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford David Evennett has been finding out about the work of The Royal British Legion.

Mr Evennett attended an event at the House of Commons , which was organised by the legion to highlight their important work to improve the welfare of the Armed Forces family.

The Legion’s county manager, Geoff Simpson, said: "Many people don’t realise that we spend nearly £1.4m a week on helping both the serving and the ex-service communities, including their families, so we were delighted to tell him about the range of services we provide.

"We help everyone from a child of a serving family needing an adventure break to a young entrepreneur needing advice and assistance to be his own boss."
