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.
Support Us
Your generosity and support enable us to achieve all the incredible things we do. Your donations truly impact the lives of blind and partially sighted people in South Wales.
There are many ways you can contribute: by making a donation, leaving a legacy in your Will, participating in a fundraising or sponsored event, or volunteering your time.
Donate
By donating to Sight Life, you’ll help us reach more blind and partially sighted individuals, making a meaningful impact in the lives of local people when they need us the most. Every penny really makes a difference.
