Act Now: Protect vital benefits for blind and partially sighted people
Join us now in calling on your MP to protect the benefits which enable blind and partially sighted people to live independently.
Write to your MP todayOut of Sight
Thousands of people with sight loss remain Out of Sight. Life changes after sight loss, sometimes overnight, often in dramatic ways. Done well, vision rehabilitation equips people with new ways to stay independent: to get out and about, adapt their lives.

Alt text campaign
Every year, the global advertising industry puts millions of images into the world. Images that over 2.2 billion people with sight loss might never see. Instead, many blind and partially sighted people rely on a text alternative or ‘alt text’ – a written descriptions of an image.”

Access to Work delays
The UK Government’s ongoing Pathways to Work green paper consults on the future of Access to Work. We are joining with sight loss partners to set out how the scheme needs to be fixed to work for blind and partially sighted people.
