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.

Build an inclusive society
Why voting in secret remains impossible
It’s more than 150 years since the establishment of the right to vote in secret. But this right is still not afforded to many blind and partially sighted people.

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.
