Welcome to the Action for Blind People website
Action for Blind People is a national charity with local reach, providing practical help and support to blind and partially sighted people of all ages. We listen, we understand, we act.
Action Activity Breaks
Action Activity Breaks are residential breaks for blind and partially sighted children and young people aged 8 - 17 who attend mainstream school. There are five different activity breaks across the UK to choose from and you can apply for whichever one you like, you don't have to live in the local area.
There are application deadlines for each break so do complete and return your form to ensure you don't miss out!

Our inspirational bloggers - Sandi Wassmer and Toby Davey - share their personal stories and provide unique insights into living with sight loss.
