Blind Veterans UK relies on gifts in Wills to support five in ten of our blind veterans. They are crucial to our charity.

Billy's Story “Without gifts in Wills, I wouldn’t have received the help I've needed.”

After 20 years in the Royal Horse Artillery, Billy lost his sight during his service in Bosnia. While exhuming mass graves, a virus entered his eyes and infected both his optic nerves. Not long after, he woke up completely blind.

“It's the ordinary things that bring me the most pleasure and these are often the hardest things to do when you're blind. The ability to make my wife a cup of coffee; to help around the house... Just to be independent.

"Blind Veterans UK needs to be there for future veterans with sight loss like me. That’s why, with my wife, Karen, we've pledged a gift in our Will. We hope you will join us in building a better future for those who have served our country."

Including a gift in your Will, regardless of the size, will help provide vital lifelong support to ex-Servicemen and women living with sight loss.

Blind Veterans UK helps ex-Service men and women of every generation rebuild their lives after sight loss through rehabilitation, training, emotional support and more.
