About Action for Blind People
Action for Blind People is one of the largest charities in the UK providing free and confidential support for blind and partially sighted people in all aspects of their lives.
We are dynamic and have a reputation for talking less and doing more.
Driven by the needs and visually impaired people, we deliver what people say they need, not just what we think they need.
Our mission is to inspire change and create opportunities to enable people with sight loss to have equal voice and equal choice.
Action for Blind People is more than just a name - it is what we do.
Who we are
We work with and for people. The emphasis of our strategy is therefore on people, their empowerment, support and growth.
The work we do
Action provides tailored support on a wide range of issues affecting visually impaired people, their friends and family.
Governance and Financials
Meet our board of trustees, the people who ensure that the organisation effectively pursues its mission and remains viable.
User Participation
We work with visually impaired people to consult them about the services they want, rather than what we think they may need.
Work for us
The rewards of working for Action for Blind People do not just end with transforming the lives of blind and partially sighted people.
Historical highlights
Opportunities and attitudes towards visually impaired people have changed over the years, along with the nature and the scale of our work.
