Scottish War Blinded

We provide assistance to veterans of the armed forces who have a significant visual impairment.

The New Linburn Centre
Our new award winning centre is based at Wilkieston in the west of Edinburgh. It is a centre of activity for members and residents within travelling distance, and a resource for occasional or short course use for members from further afield.

There are a wide range of leisure and social activities available including arts, crafts, daily living skills, IT, gym and relaxation in addition to training opportunities for members. For those within travelling distance, transport is provided to and from the Centre free of charge, in addition to a hot meal.
