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.

We operate a mobile service that travels all over the UK, visiting schools, libraries, shopping centres, social service teams and sight loss societies.
The service visits over 200 different venues every year, offering specialist advice and demonstrating a wide range of aids and equipment available to blind and partially sighted people.
