Activities & Mission
We work to help people with sight loss lead full, independent, healthy and socially active lives. We deliver practical services directly into the community to make these are as accessible as possible to all service users and while the sight loss condition itself sadly cannot be cured, the charity works to stop that sight loss from causing or leading to other physical or mental health problems.
