Our mission and values
When Blind Veterans UK was founded in 1915, our mission was to help soldiers blinded during the First World War.
Today we offer lifelong support to all vision-impaired veterans, regardless of how or when they lost their sight.
We help these veterans regain their independence so they can live fulfilling lives after sight loss.
Below, you can find out about our vision and mission, and learn about the values that underpin our work at Blind Veterans UK.
Vision
Our ultimate goal is to achieve victory over blindness.
Mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality national support to blind veterans, as and when they need it. We aim to transform their lives by helping them achieve independence and fulfilment.
Values
Values are the guiding principles that shape our culture, behaviour, and decision-making processes. Our values signify who we are and who we strive to become. Our values were chosen by the staff through a survey, and shaped using voluntary staff focus groups to determine what these meant in practice.

We are supportive.
We empower everyone to feel safe to communicate their needs, and we will respond appropriately in order to ensure people are included, heard and valued.
We are enabling.
We nurture a positive environment that enables the success of everyone through creativity, courage, and celebrating our work and progress.
We are caring.
We embrace individuality, and respect boundaries in order to foster a culture of trust and understanding.
