Blind Veterans UK provides free support to Armed Forces or National Service veterans and have significant sight loss.

 

Research shows the need for specialist support for this group, who take great pride in their independence and are less likely to ask for help. An estimated 59,000 blind veterans are eligible for support, but most are not receiving it.

 

Sight loss can be due to age or illness and services provided include:

 

· Emotional support, providing activities

 

· Skills development - trying new hobbies

 

· Confidence building

 

· Independent Living support - adapted housing and equipment.
