Ways to give back
Giving back is one of the best things you can do to boost your mood and expand your horizons.
There are loads of different ways you can give back to Blind Veterans UK. Some are quick, like entering our raffle, while others, like volunteering or fundraising, can give you a real sense of purpose.
Have a look at some of the opportunities below and if you'd like to find out more, your local community team will be happy to help.
If you’ve got time on your hands why not use it to support your fellow blind veterans? You could call or visit a Member who needs the company, support our fundraising activities, or help out at our centres and events.
What would you do with £15,000? Why not enter our lottery for your chance to win this amazing jackpot every month. Or you could win one of our weekly prizes of £1,000. Tickets start at just £1.
Do you know a fellow veteran who's struggling with a vision impairment and hasn't yet applied for our support? We've made it quick and easy for you to introduce them to us - which may well change their life.
We run four fun raffles every year, each offering the chance to win one of 35 fantastic prizes - including a big cash win. Tickets cost just £1 and the money goes towards supporting blind veterans like you.
From hosting a pub quiz to running the London Marathon, fundraising is a brilliant way to set yourself a challenge and see what you’re made of. Sign up to one of our established events or create your own.
Including Blind Veterans UK in your Will is a stress-free way to look after your fellow veterans into the future. Whatever you give will make a massive difference and you can even write or change your Will for free.
Make a donation
We know times are tough but, for those in a position to, making a donation is a great way to make sure we can continue to help thousands of blind veterans across the UK. And what could be more valuable than that?
“I’ve had a few different volunteering roles and found them all incredibly rewarding, especially being a telephone befriender for a veteran who fought in the Second World War."
