Vision North Somerset - supporting local people who are blind or partially sighted

Vision North Somerset is a charity supporting local people who are blind or partially sighted to reach their potential, to be independent and to participate in their local community.

Why the community needs us:
Did you know that there are nearly 9000 people with significant sight loss in North Somerset? And that number is set to rise by 30% by 2030?

People who lose their sight need a range of support to help them live independently for example, emotional support and friendship through our social groups, information about useful equipment and local services, training in using supports such as a white cane, a useful app or a device to help them pour tea safely.

Our impact on the community
Vision North Somerset has around 3 to 7 new people coming to us for help every week. We cannot support everyone who needs us without your help. Thank you for your donation!
