We help blind veterans to discover a life beyond sight loss

Story

As a married couple, my wife and I have collectively served over 35 years in the military and our respective families have been steeped in military service over many generations.  The charity’s backdrop of ‘Accept; Adjust; Achieve’ - for me, says it all.  

Blind Veterans is my natural charity of choice and I can think of no finer tribute to those Veterans who have so selflessly served our country.

The Ancient Mariners would like to offer thanks to our major donors for their support for our venture - Hitachi Capital UK for £5,000, BUPA for £2,500 and  Zurich Insurance for £2,500
