For almost a century, Blesma has stood beside injured and limbless veterans as they rebuild their lives after service. In 2027, we will mark our 95th anniversary: a milestone made possible by people who believe no veteran should face life-changing injury alone.
Today, more than 2,600 Members and widows rely on Blesma’s support. As veterans’ needs change over time, our specialist, lifelong support remains as important as ever.
Our Outreach Team works across nine regions throughout the UK, providing personalised support to injured and limbless veterans and their families, wherever they live.
Your major gift can help ensure veterans receive the practical advice, expert guidance, friendship and advocacy they need, whenever they need it.
Your philanthropy creates lasting change
A major gift to Blesma is more than a donation. It is an investment in independence, dignity, confidence and quality of life for injured veterans and their families.
Your gift could help
- Provide personalised support through Blesma’s outreach team across nine UK regions.
- Fund adaptations and equipment that support independence at home.
- Create opportunities for veterans to connect, rebuild confidence and reduce isolation.
When you support Blesma, you help build a future where no injured veteran faces their challenges alone.
I thought it was just another charity. How wrong was I? Blesma has been a massive part of my life throughout my recovery journey. Getting to talk to other like-minded people and being introduced to other females as well, because the only time I’ve ever come across another female amputee is through Blesma.

Major donor benefits
We recognise a major gift as a donation of £1,000 or more. As a major donor, you will receive updates from Blesma, including our magazine and impact report, so you can see the difference your support is making.
You will also be invited to key Blesma events, giving you opportunities to meet the people behind our work and hear first-hand how your generosity helps injured and limbless veterans across the UK.
Help launch Blesma’s 95th anniversary year
As we approach Blesma’s 95th anniversary in 2027, we are inviting philanthropists to help us enter our next chapter with confidence.
Together, we can ensure injured and limbless veterans, their families and widows continue to receive expert, lifelong support for generations to come.
A major gift can turn inspiration into lasting action, helping existing and future generations of injured veterans receive the lifelong support they deserve.
Blesma was there for me right from the start, a Member came to see me in hospital and said: ‘Don’t worry – I’m one of you!’ and lifted his trousers to show me his two missing legs. The great thing with Blesma is that they know exactly what to do.
