Sight Life, formerly known as Cardiff Institute for the Blind until October 2019, offers a wide range of local services to support blind and partially sighted people across much of South Wales. Our mission is to help people live independent, active, social, and fulfilling lives. Established in 1865, we are one of Wales' oldest charities. We are proud to have rugby legend Sir Gareth Edwards, CBE, as our President, and Wales' renowned female impersonator, Ceri Dupree, as our patron.

What we do

Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers are here to provide help and advice on all issues relating to sight loss. You do not need to be registered blind or partially sighted to access our services. The support we offer is appropriate for those who are newly diagnosed as well as those who have had sight loss for a long time and family friends and carers.

Sight Life are excited to announce that the next series of Beautifully Blind make-up tutorials will start on Monday 13 October at 11.30am. These will last around 1 to 1 and a half hrs. The tutorials will take place over 10 weeks and cover every aspect of make-up application. We aim to instil confidence, develop peer to peer support and equip you with the essential skills required to apply make-up independently.

The sessions will be run via Zoom. There will also be a private ‘Beautifully Blind’ Facebook group which will share handy hints and tips as we go along, plus a safe space to ask questions to learners old and new.

To book your place on the course or for more information, please contact Carys Groves on 07753 305631 or email [email protected]

Fab morning of Sunrise Yoga and networking for Hazel & Stu this morning at Studio Tarw... huge thanks to the team and what a great set of facilities they have at their gym.

Sorry - we forgot a pic of us looking all hot and sweaty after the workout but feeling energised and ready to face the day.

Thanks Studio Tarw.
