Action for Blind People is a national charity with local reach. Our Carlisle team has deep roots in the local community, which helps us to best meet the needs of our blind and partially sighted service users. This grassroots approach is consistent across all of our offices throughout England.

Our specialist services
In addition to the core services provided by the Preston team, our Carlisle team offers a specialist assistive technology service to meet the needs of our local community.
