The charity is currently providing assistance to hundreds of bereaved Forces children and young people around the UK and services offered include guidance to parents and carers, access to professional child bereavement support, personal education and learning assistance (including grants) and fun activities such as holiday respite breaks and group events.

Established in 1915 to support servicemen who were blinded in WWI, today we help blind and partially sighted veterans no matter how or when they lost their sight – including those who did national service – to adapt to life with a visual impairment.
Our offer is as diverse as those we support. We know that everyone faces different challenges and that everyone’s goals are individual. That’s why our team work with everyone in the way which is right for them.
We give support that ranges from practical advice and identifying solutions that help you stay as independent as possible, to vital emotional support and opportunities to meet others facing sight loss.
Sight Scotland Veterans can also provide specialist equipment free of charge to aid independence in day-to-day tasks – from talking watches, cooking aids and electronic magnifiers, to digital technology such as smartphones or tablets with specialist software for people with sight loss.
The charity’s expert rehabilitation team offer one-to-one assessments and tailored training for specialist equipment and cane and mobility training.
Sight Scotland Veterans also runs two activity hubs for veterans with sight loss: the Linburn Centre in Wilkieston, West Lothian, and the Hawkhead Centre in Paisley, Renfrewshire.
Soldiers League uses Rugby League as a vehicle to support SP and Veterans who have suffered injuries (physical or mental).
This is through support to attend Rugby League events or through participation in our Wheelchair Rugby League side.
We have strong links into the Rugby League community, through the national governing body (RFL), a network of retired professional players, a network of serving and retired service personnel, and through the England Wheelchair RL and wheelchair Super League.
As 10% of SP come from traditional rugby league areas, this enables us to facilitate support through a non-military route to those in need.
To relieve members or their dependants who are in need by virtue of financial hardship, injury or sickness.
