Love is in the air!

Published on 23 Feb 2024

This Valentines Day we celebrated Blind Veterans UK style!  

The Liverpool/Manchester team collaborated with Bureau Veritas, our corporate partner, to put on a lunch. Bureau Veritas brought in Mezzo-Soprano Sian Davies to sing some beautiful, classic love songs.  

We called in a favour from blind veteran Gerry, who played us a few tunes on his ukulele (he was sensational!). 

We also surprised blind veteran Ken and his wife Christine with a live performance of a song that’s special to their 70-year love story. Ken and Christine first met 70 years ago, on a blind date at a music gig, and have been together ever since.
