St Dunstan’s, which works with blind ex-service personnel, has announced that the gym in its North Wales Rehabilitation and Training Centre will be named after the three-year old charity in honour of its donation.

St Dunstan’s chief executive Robert Leader said his charity “look forward to building our relationship with Help for Heroes”.
