Small changes, big difference: make your everyday behaviour more accessible
Making a difference starts here. Discover how changing your habits can build a better world for people with sight loss. Our work needs people like you, people ready to turn action into real, lasting change. Together, we can make sure blind and partially sighted people can live the life they want, without limits.
Find the action that suits you best
Whether you sign a petition, make small everyday changes or join our community of supporters, every action matters.
Take action nationally
Every day, blind and partially sighted people face potentially dangerous barriers when walking around their local neighbourhoods, such as cars being parked on pavements, overhanging greenery and a lack of accessible crossings. Councils have a duty to take steps to make the street environment more accessible and inclusive.
Take action locally
Make a difference every day. Our Be Helpful guide shares quick and easy tips from people with sight loss, giving you the confidence to make getting around easier for blind and partially sighted people. Small actions can make a big impact.
Take action online
Make sure your social media posts are more accessible by adding alt text – image descriptions that help blind and partially sighted people experience your posts.
