The impact your support makes...
The Association was by my bedside from the very beginning. Blesma has helped me with practical things, like adaptations to my house, and has been there with emotional support, too. That’s given me the strength to move forwards with my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.

Support Our Work
At present, Blesma looks after 3,093 Members and Widows. Our elder membership is increasingly frail. Our younger membership has increased as a result of recent conflicts. Amputation is for life, and therefore Blesma is, too.
