Campaign with us

Help build a world without barriers for blind and partially sighted people.

Out 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, these people rely on a text alternative or ‘alt text’ - written descriptions of images that the visually impaired can listen to.

Make your mark
A digital billboard in between two glass skyscrapers in London. Black text on a white background on the billboard reads 'August 8th, 1969. A group of four men walk across a zebra crossing in North London. From right to left, white suit, black suit, bare-footed and denim-clad. Priest, undertaker, body and grave differ? Or just four lads from Liverpool who were once bigger than Jesus?'
