Dare to wear your onesie for Blind Veterans UK

A local military charity is inviting people to ‘Zip up and Carry on’ this February by wearing their onesie to work, school, or the local shops.

Staff and volunteers at Blind Veterans UK’s Llandudno Centre are looking for individuals, schools, colleges and local businesses to support the work done at the centre by wearing onesies during the third annual “Wear Your Onesie Week”. They will be leading the way by daring to wear their onesies between 11th and 18th February 2016.

Victoria Beech, Regional Fundraiser at Blind Veterans UK, says: “Wear Your Onesie Week is a fun way to raise funds for Blind Veterans UK while being comfy in your workplace, classroom, living room or wherever you dare to wear your onesie.”

To pre-register and receive a pack including sponsor forms, poster templates and collection boxes, contact Blind Veterans UK before Friday 5^th February.

Or simply post a picture ‘Wearing your Onesie’ by snailmail or on the Blind Veterans UK Wales Facebook page and make a donation of £1 per person: justgiving.com/wearyouronesie

Blind Veterans UK was founded in 1915 and the charity’s initial purpose was to help and support soldiers blinded in World War I. But the organisation has gone on to support more than 35,000 blind veterans and their families, spanning World War II to recent conflicts including Iraq and Afghanistan.

For more than a century, the charity has been providing vital free training, rehabilitation, equipment and emotional support to blind and vision-impaired veterans no matter when they served or how they lost their sight.
