Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, is dedicated to assisting serving and ex-Service men and women who have suffered life-changing limb loss or the use of a limb, an eye or loss of sight in the honourable service of our country.
We are the only national Service charity that supports limbless veterans for the duration of their lives, offering financial and emotional support to them and their families. Since WW1 we have worked tirelessly to guarantee that our limbless veterans are not failed, forgotten or to left to fend for themselves.
How We Support Veterans
An injured veteran who was made homeless earlier this year had one less thing to worry about thanks to Blesma.
Following the breakdown of his relationship this February, former Royal Highland Fusilier Dave found himself homeless. He turned to Blesma, and we were able to find him accommodation with a veteran’s project.
I couldn't handle life before I joined Blesma
“The new accommodation is cracking, and Blesma even gave me groceries and a grant to see me through this tough time,” said the 49-year-old, whose left leg was amputated below the knee 10 years ago. “I don’t know what I’d have done without them.”
Dave is now enjoying virtual Blesma events and joining in with them is keeping his spirits up. “I couldn’t handle life before I joined Blesma,” said Dave.
