Every ticket bought helps rebuild a life
When you take part in the Blind Veterans UK raffle, your tickets could provide blind ex-Service men and women with the rehabilitation, training, practical advice and emotional support they need to rebuild their lives.
Since 1915, Blind Veterans UK has been providing blind and vision-impaired veterans of all generations with the free services they need to lead full and independent lives. No matter when they served or how they lost their sight, blind veterans can receive lifetime support.
By entering our raffle, you could support blind veterans like Gary.
Gary joined the Royal Corps of Transport in 1989, serving in different countries during the First Gulf War. He later lost his sight after having a stroke in the middle of the night. He woke up the next day blind. It was a huge shock for Gary, and he had to learn new skills to help him adjust to his sight loss. When he found our charity, he was relieved to be able to relearn many of the hobbies that he gave up after his sight loss. He now gets involved in many different activities supported by our National Creative Project. With the use of a special magnifier, he’s now got back to woodturning, which was a particular passion for him.
He says, “My journey with Blind Veterans UK has been life-changing. It was great to learn what kind of support I could have as, prior to that, I had been dealing with my sight loss alone for years.”
With each £1 ticket you buy, more blind veterans like Gary will be supported to rediscover their passions and continue to lead fulfilling lives. Your support makes such a difference to so many lives.
