Merry Christmas from Blind Veterans UK
On behalf of our staff, volunteers and blind veterans, thank you for all of your support this year.
This Christmas, we're spreading festive cheer with a unique acappella rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas. In what's become something of a festive tradition, we decided to give our staff a well-deserved break and invited our blind veterans to take centre stage!
Our veterans had a lot of fun putting this together, and it's a heart-warming celebration of the support and community that brings us together all year round. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Press play below to watch - and don’t forget to share the joy!
