Action for Blind People

Action for Blind People is one of the largest charities in the UK providing confidential support for blind and partially sighted people in all aspects of their lives.

We are dynamic and have a reputation for talking less and doing more.

Driven by the needs of visually impaired people, we deliver what people say they need, not just what we think they need.

Our mission is to inspire change and create opportunities to enable people with sight loss to have equal voice and equal choice.

14-16 Verney Road London

To inspire change and create opportunities to enable blind and partially sighted people to have equal voice and equal choice.

Our Values We have a responsibility to offer each blind or partially sighted person the same opportunities as everyone else, whilst recognising that sometimes, additional support may be required to enable each individual to meet their full potential.

In achieving the aims of our mission, we recognise the following basic values as contributing to the quality of life:

Respect: The right of each individual to be recognised for their value as a person regardless of circumstances. To have their uniqueness and personal needs treated with dignity.

Inspiration: We seek to inspire by the strength of our enthusiasm and the quality of our actions.

Choice: The right of each individual to exercise their independent choice without encroaching on the rights of others

Rights and Responsibilities Equal rights bring with them an equal responsibility to uphold these rights.

Fulfilment: The right of each individual to realise their full potential.
