Fortunately, Andy found out about Blind Veterans UK and started receiving support from the charity in 2020. “Blind Veterans UK have been a great support to me, especially during the lockdowns," said Andy. I’ve been able to talk to other blind veterans over Microsoft Teams which has been great, we understand each other. If you, or someone you know, served in the Armed Forces, including National Service, and are now struggling with sight loss, then please get in touch. Call 0800 389 7979 or visit blindveterans.org.uk/supportWhile Blind Veterans UK initially cared for veterans blinded in active service, today they help veterans no matter what caused their sight loss.
