Cardiff Council is consulting on their Active Travel Network Map and would like to hear your thoughts.

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.

The lovely Ruth Madoc (of tv's Hi-De-Hi fame) was such a massive supporter of our charity and proud to be our Patron. We miss her dearly and are so grateful to her daughter Lowri Madoc for continuing her support for us. This fundraising challenge is fabulous - please do support Lowri! We will keep you updated on her progress throughout the month.

Celebration, generosity and a whole lot of fun – our Spring Ball last Friday evening had it all!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined and supported us at Sight Life’s Spring Ball and helped make it such a memorable evening. Special mention to Spiro Borg and the team at Cornerstone Cardiff for hosting us brilliantly and Richard Stephens-Knott for being a fabulous compere for the evening!

It was wonderful to see so many people come together in support of people living with sight loss across South Wales. We've truly grateful for your support.

We’re still totting up the final amount raised, but it’s already shaping up to be a fantastic result.

In the meantime, you can take a look at the highlights and photos from the evening on our website (https://sightlife.wales/a-night-to-remember-sight-life-spring-ball-2026/)
