About us
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 speaks louder for nearly 30,000 visually impaired people every year, always placing their needs at the heart of everything we do. We support these individuals in many aspects of their lives and help them to find the right services and products they need to live independently.

We offer visually impaired people a number of services, including help with finding a job, applying for benefits, housing issues, aids and adaptations, holiday breaks and information on local services.
