Royal British Legion and Poppyscotland Campaign

£25 donation to the Royal British Legion when you take out a funeral plan

The Royal British Legion helps members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, reservists, veterans and their families. The charity works hard to provide lifelong support for serving and ex-serving personnel, every day of the week, all year round. We’re proud to support the work it does, which is why we’ll donate £25 for every eligible Golden Charter funeral plan purchased until 31/01/24.*

That means when you buy a funeral plan, you’ll also be helping to provide that vital, lifelong support for our Armed Forces community.

*£25 from the sale of each funeral plan (where plans are not cancelled, please see goldencharter.co.uk/legal-disclaimer for applicable date information) will be paid to Royal British Legion Trading Limited which gives its taxable profits to The Royal British Legion (Charity no. 219279) and Poppyscotland (Scottish Charity No. SC014096) according to where sales are made. The Royal British Legion and Poppyscotland are independent of Golden Charter and do not endorse or recommend the funeral plans promoted by Golden Charter. You should consider the suitability of any funeral plan before purchasing and seek appropriate advice regarding your personal circumstances
