Campaigns

Get involved in our Sight Loss Council campaigns to create a world in which all blind and partially sighted people can live the lives they want to live. Whether you are blind or partially sighted (BPS), know someone who is, or want to make the world a fairer place, together we are stronger.

Our campaigns are centred around what BPS people tell us matters to them the most. This includes making transport and streets across England accessible so everyone can travel independently and safely. Locally, we also focus on healthcare, shopping, museums and galleries, and sports and leisure facilities, depending on local area need.
