About Us
We’re Cornwall’s independent sight loss charity and we’ve been providing support to blind and partially sighted people since 1856.
We understand the complex and potentially life-changing nature of sight loss. Our dedicated and professional team is ready to help everyone living with sight loss, whether recent or longstanding, sudden or gradual. We can offer practical support to help you continue doing the things you love, as well as emotional support to help you understand the changes you are facing.
We offer advice and provide solutions knowing that sometimes even the smallest things can make a world of difference.
There are over 24,000 visually impaired people living in Cornwall.
We play an important role within Cornwall’s eye care support pathway alongside local opticians, Cornwall Council’s rehabilitation team, the NHS and Royal Cornwall Hospital’s eye clinic.
Our future
We are proud of our heritage as the longest standing, and earliest, charity for blind and partially sighted people in Cornwall, and we look forward to developing its future for the generations to come.
