We are the local sight loss charity in Berkshire. Supporting blind and visually impaired adults, children and their families since 1910.
When Mark's life was turned upside down following a serious accident, Cara and our Sight Loss Support team were there every step of the way.

Today, Mark is settled in his new home and exploring employment opportunities.

Did you know that Dry eye affects one in three of us?

Age, screen use, #menopause & contact lens use can all increase your risk.
Speak to the team at your local optical practice for eye care advice and information about managing and treating #DryEye.

For children and young people who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired getting on a bike isn't always straightforward.

But over the summer we've made sure that cycling is accessible. Along with @NewburyVelo, we have enjoyed riding tandems and specially adapted bikes.

Last week, our Reading Social Group enjoyed a chocolate tasting session! Everyone had the chance to sample a variety of chocolates, guessing the flavour and brand before rating each one.

This was made possible thanks to #NationalLottery players

Our Wokingham Social Group is a lifeline for many local #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired people.

Last month, we treated everyone to a fish and chip lunch. The hall was filled with the delicious smell of fish and chips, and everyone had a fantastic time.

We love to challenge perceptions and adapt sports so that the #VisuallyImpaired people we support can have go.
Last week we tried out #Paddleboarding .

We helped everyone get on a board and even stand up and navigate their way around the lake.
