Sight Loss Councils

We shape inclusive services in communities across the UK

Sight Loss Councils, funded by Thomas Pocklington Trust, are regional groups led by blind and partially sighted volunteers. We use our lived experience to shape inclusive services, influence decisions, and ensure accessibility in local communities.

Get involved in a vision for change

We asked some of our members, why they joined, what they have got involved in and why other blind and partially sighted people should consider joining Sight Loss Councils in their areas.  Come join us.
