Action for Blind People is an expert national organisation, ensuring blind and partially sighted people receive practical support in all aspects of their lives. Last year we introduced 24,000 people to our services.

One call to Action ensures that visually impaired people receive help with anything from finding a job, applying for benefits, housing issues, aids and adaptations, holiday breaks or information on local services. We can also offer advice to people who have a visually impaired friend or family member.
