We’re Blind Veterans UK, formerly St Dunstan’s, and we believe that no one who’s served our country should battle blindness alone. That’s why we’re here to help with a lifetime’s practical and emotional support, regardless of when they served and how they lost their sight. We help blind veterans to recover their independence and discover a life beyond sight loss.

Our second objective is to provide a forum where World War II veterans can record and share their experiences with younger generations. Please feel free to explore the many fascinating accounts and stories which our veterans have kindly allowed us to share with you through our website.

https://www.ssafa.org.uk/An award winning and pioneering project, Surf Action is dedicated to serving the needs of military veterans (including TAs and reservists) and their families, especially those affected by PTSD and physical injuries or those struggling to re-adjust to civilian life. Surf Action also supports those who have served or are serving in the ‘blue-light’ emergency services. By making use of the stunning coastal environment and offering holistic support which takes into account the practical, social and psychological difficulties which some veterans can experience, we do not seek to replicate the valuable work carried out by existing military organisations and charities, but to complement, signpost to, and work with them to fill the gaps identified by the veterans who come to us. Extensive research has highlighted how nature-based physical activity – encapsulated in the conceptual notion of the “Blue Gym” – can significantly promote well-being among military veterans.
