When we receive a gift in memory we can set up a Tribute Fund, allowing friends and family to give further donations to support blind ex-Service men and women and help them regain their independence.

It's easy to arrange and we'll take care of the administration. You can make one-off or regular gifts to the fund.

We'll enter their name in our Book of Remembrance, and if the Tribute Fund reaches £1500 we'll place a memorial paviour at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire inscribed with the details of your loved one. You can visit this lasting tribute to your loved one all year round in peaceful and tranquil surroundings.

There are three ways to set up a fund:

Remembering a loved one

"My Dad was a Chief Petty Officer in the Fleet Air Arm Field Gun Crew. A group of blind veterans came to HMS Daedalus at Lee-on-Solent every year, and the gun crew members looked after them. Establishing a Tribute Fund sounded like a really good idea and a way of permanently having a lasting tribute to my Dad." - Jackie Leech, who set up a Tribute Fund in memory of her father, Gordon Brown.

"This Tribute Fund means being able to continue albeit in a small way, a link that my late father [below] started. My father was a very loyal man, witty, intelligent and practically fearless. Losing sight in one eye during World War 2 he considered himself very lucky. He supported St Dunstan's [Blind Veterans UK] because he wanted to ensure that those less fortunate than him were given all the support necessary to help them rebuild their lives. I wanted to continue that important aspect of his charitable nature." - Chris Simmonds, son of Thomas Simmonds.
