Blind Veterans UK’s Working Age Rehabilitation Programme

Blind Veterans UK Working-Age Rehabilitation Program supports and rehabilitates blind veterans to help them live independently. Over the course of five-days, veterans of working age are supported to develop vital independent living skills which will hopefully lead to them accessing, obtaining and remaining in employment. You can find out how the service (supported by funding from Specsavers) has helped two veterans rebuild their confidence and get back into work here.

Blind Veterans UK supports vision-impaired ex-Servicemen and women for life, regardless of how or when they lost their sight. The charity encourages anyone with a service record and a vision impairment to apply for support, even if you're not sure you meet the criteria, as every application is assessed on an individual basis.For more information, including an eligibility checker, visit the Blind Veterans UK website or telephone call the support team on 0800 389 7979.
