About Us

The Royal British Legion Industries has over its 104 year history been providing support to the Armed Forces community, those with disabilities and those who have found themselves unemployed.

Each part of RBLI offers a service to help veterans live an independent life with whatever support they require resulting in the successful delivery of a full-care pathway on-site to help veterans of any age or background from across the three services.

The fundraising team at RBLI was created in 2016. Since then RBLI’s projects and plans have been attractive to Trusts and Foundations generating over £1M annually. The charity has ambitious plans to double its income in the next three years and the Trust Fundraising team will make a significant contribution to this growth.

The team has a track record of securing 6-figure gifts and many multi-year commitments. This role offers the successful candidate the chance to shape this exciting fundraising programme and will be a team player, interested in the full range of RBLI’s activities. For this reason, and the contact with other colleagues and beneficiaries, the role is based in our Aylesford office. 

We have ambitious plans to double our fundraising income and we are part way through this plan.
