This Christmas, please be there to help another blind veteran like Chris to pack up his troubles and begin rebuilding his life after sight loss. 

Your gift could provide essential equipment that helps blind veterans like Chris to start doing the everyday tasks that they previously may have taken for granted. A liquid level indicator, for example, means Chris can safely make a cup of tea for his wife Claire. A magnifier can help a blind veteran by enlarging text and visual details on instructions- enabling greater independence.

“Meeting other veterans who had also lost their sight helped me turn a corner. I began to believe I could have a good life. Without Blind Veterans UK, I would be a shell of the person I am today”.
