Planning to remember
Remembrance is a significant time for our blind veterans.
It's a time that we come together to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We reflect on our charity's history and the support we have provided to thousands of blind veterans since our first war blinded made their way home from the battle fields of the First World War. We consider how different those lives would have been without vital funds raised and donated by supporters like you, who believe no veteran should battle sight loss alone.
Start planning to remember today
Ensure both the fallen and those left behind are not forgotten. Plan an activity or event to take place between 1 November and 12 November 2025 and raise vital funds and awareness to help reach and support blind veterans across the UK.
Choose from the following ideas or tell us about your own.
Gather family, friends or colleagues - or go solo - and organise a sponsored walk to your local war memorial. Share a moment of silence to remember the fallen.
