Making a difference
We reach thousands of blind and partially sighted adults, children and their families, and support Touch to See Book Clubs where blind and partially sighted people meet with sighted peers through monthly meetings within their communities.
Our annual survey shows how we transform the lives of blind and partially sighted people, from helping a blind toddler bond with their siblings, to bringing new confidence and interests to an older blind person who feels isolated from the world around them.
