Sight Life supports blind and partially sighted people to maintain or improve their physical and emotional well-being by providing advice and support to help them enjoy independent and fulfilled lives. We help blind and partially sighted people to be part of the community, to take part in social and leisure activities, get out and about more, to be able and willing to shop alone, to visit friends, be digitally included, have more income and be able to manage money, to volunteer or work, and to take part in lifelong learning.

Sight Life offers practical support and advice to anyone with limited sight in South Wales.
Blind and partially sighted people say we give hope where there was only despair.
Our staff enable members to improve their physical and emotional wellbeing, enjoy independent lives, get (or stay) online, and remain part of the community.
Reducing isolation is a key part of our work, especially for those facing the trauma of sight loss in later life.
Sight Life works to provide practical steps for those who are impacted by sight loss.
Research shows that we fear losing our sight more than any other disability. Yet, one in five of us will experience some form of sight loss during our lifetimes. Sight Life works to take away these fears.
Through our partnerships with the NHS, Local Authorities and the commercial and third sectors, we reduce reliance on primary care services, develop greater awareness of the issues surrounding sight loss and improve the quality of life for our service users.
As an independent charity – and one of the oldest in Wales – we continually seek innovative ways and mutually beneficial partnerships to nurture the wellbeing of our growing number of service users.
Sight Life (formerly Cardiff Institute for the Blind) does not charge for its services. We rely on fundraising and donations for most of our income.
We are extremely grateful for any donations that help us to continue to provide our services.
Please contact us to see how we can work together or help you.
