Wiltshire Sight, is here to offer information, advice and support to anyone affected by sight loss and to raise the profile of sight loss in the local community. We’re a source of support, helping with the things that people affected by sight loss want and need.

There are currently 20,650 people living with a sight loss in Wiltshire and Swindon. By 2020 this is set to rise to 26,500 (RNIB figures 2013). We know that sight loss affects people in different ways, but we also know that it has a massive impact on not only the individual but also the individual’s family and lifestyle. This includes 195 children registered blind or partially sighted. When sight is lost everyday tasks need to be re-learnt in order for the individual to remain independent and continue to reach their full potential.  Our key aim is to support those with sight loss to lead fulfilling, independent lives and to reach their full potential. This is done by offering a range of services:

• Workshops for those recently diagnosed with a sight loss

• Information, advice, guidance and support from specially trained Community Sight Advisers
• Talking Newspaper and CD Library
• Clubs and Social Activities

Founded in 1919, we serve the local community of Wiltshire & Swindon. As an independent charity we receive no statutory funding and rely on the generosity of our supporters and the local community.
