Positive Vision - this Charity offers help to
people with sight loss and their families and carers.
http://www.positivevision.co.uk/
The Royal National Institute of the Blind helps
anyone with a sight problem - not just with braille, Talking Books
computer training, but with imaginative and practical solutions to
everyday challenges. The Charity campaigns to change society's
attitudes, actions and assumptions, so that people with sight
problems can enjoy the same rights, freedoms and responsibilities
as fully sighted people; funds research into preventing and
treating eye disease; and promotes eye health by running public
health awareness campaigns.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association shapes
its services to meet the needs of its community. Whilst guide dogs
are central to our work, we also provide practical living skills
training such as reading and writing as well as other forms of
mobility for example long cane training often in partnership with
local authorities.
