About Blind Veterans UK

Founded in 1915, Blind Veterans UK has supported tens of thousands of armed forces and National Service veterans to rebuild their lives after sight loss.

Help is provided no matter what caused the sight loss.

Blind Veterans UK has a network of local support teams all over the UK, which can provide blind veterans with the rehabilitation and training they need closer to where they live – either in their own home, their local area or remotely.

They have 2 dedicated centres supporting well-being in all aspects of blind veterans’ lives, including holidays and respite breaks. As well as providing free specialist equipment, Blind Veterans UK also supports veterans to find new hobbies, such as art and other creative activities.
