Blesma, The Limbless Veterans is one of only around ten charities that exist today from the 18,000 that were born out of WWI.
We are the only national Service charity that supports limbless veterans for life, offering financial and emotional support to them and their families. Rehabilitation, advocacy, counselling and care are the foundations of what we do. Just as we are still caring for our World War II veterans, we also look after younger generations who have survived complex trauma injury in recent conflicts.
With your support, Blesma can ensure that our Service men and women, who have served our country and who live with the effects of limb loss every day, can lead independent and fulfilling lives.

“Blesma have been there since the day I was injured and have supported me in so many ways since. They paid for my wheelchair. My wheelchair is my legs, basically without it, I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere, I'm thankful that Blesma found me."
Jack Cummings, injured in Afghanistan.
“I’ve always had the feeling that Blesma was behind me and would make sure that I got whatever I was entitled to”
Roy Hayward, injured in WW2.
"I thought my family and friends would be better off if I was dead, because of this useless thing that I'd become. This Blesma Support Officer said 'we're taking you skiing.' I looked at him as if he was crazy, but they changed my life forever."
