Today the Royal British Legion are launching their campaign to call for additional questions to beincluded in the next 2021 census.  The questions will seek to capture much needed data on the Armed Forces community - particularly Reservists and veterans - who are otherwise largely hidden from official statistics.

This information will help the sector – local authorities, charities, statutory bodies - to more accurately identify areas where Service life presents a disadvantage, which will in turn enable the Government and other statutory providers to better allocate resources and deliver on their Armed Forces Covenant commitments.

PLEASE promote the dedicated campaign site (www.britishlegion.org.uk/census), by visiting and registering your support. 

And finally, get their message out there via your local authority communication channels – twitter, facebook, website, newsletters.
