Blind Veterans UK urges people to gift a wreath for Remembrance events in November.

The national charity for vision-impaired ex-servicemen and women wants businesses, groups, and individuals to join the campaign.

Two North Wales businesses, Chateau Rhianfa in Menai Bridge and Llandudno's funeral directors Tom Owen and Son, have already pledged their support for the third year.

The wreaths will be laid in Llandudno during the town's Remembrance commemorations.

However, the charity says many veterans across Wales are still eager to lay a wreath in their area.

Remembrance is significant for veterans, their families, and those in active service.

Every November, blind veterans, staff, and volunteers come together to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

On Remembrance Sunday, Blind Veterans UK assists its beneficiaries in travelling to London to march past the Cenotaph.

However, many veterans prefer to commemorate the occasion at events closer to them.

A suggested donation of £200 will enable a blind veteran to take part in Remembrance in their community.

It will also ensure blind veterans continue to receive vital support to help them lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Len Salisbury, 90, of Wrexham, has laid wreaths on behalf of Blind Veterans UK for the past two years and hopes to do so again this year at the Cefn Mawr War Memorial in Wrexham.

He said: "There are certain names on my local war memorial who I remember.

"I was only a young lad at the time, but I recognise their names and they gave their lives in conflict.

"It means a lot to me to pay my respects and remember them after all these years."

The names of those who gift a wreath will be added to the wreath, and a tribute message will be posted on the Gift a Wreath page on the Blind Veterans UK website.

Kelly Owen, from Tom Owen and Son, said: "We’ve proudly participated in the Llandudno Remembrance Commemorations for many years and for the past two years I’ve had the honour of laying a wreath beside a blind veteran which is a profoundly enriching experience."

Blind Veterans UK supports thousands of blind veterans across the country but knows there are many thousands more who still need its support to rebuild their lives after sight loss.
