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.

🥾 Trig Point Challenge Update – 35 of 99 Completed! 🗺️
Every weekend, I'm on a mission to complete my Glamorgan trig point book. On average, I'm walking 4–5 miles (Avg) per trig point, sometimes ticking off one or even two in a single trip.
Recently, I've been exploring the trig points around The Bwlch, with a few more still to complete in that area, as well as around Afan Forest Park.
My goal is to finish all 99 trig points by the end of the year, and I'm currently 35 down, 64 to go! 💪
Most importantly, I'm doing this to raise money for Sight Life Charity, a fantastic cause that supports people with sight loss.
If you'd like to support my challenge and help me raise funds, please consider making a donation via my JustGiving page:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/dylan-walking-over-hill-and-under-hill
Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far—it really does make a difference. ❤️
And if you're based in South Wales and fancy joining me on a walk, or if you know of a trig point near where you live that I should visit, let me know. Looking at my map, I'm going to be travelling further afield over the coming months, including another trip down to the beautiful Gower.

Last week we were celebrating 160 years of Sight Life with members, volunteers and staff from the Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot areas at The Collaboration Station Swansea.

We had a lovely afternoon of fun, laughter and chat as we played Play your Cards Right with jumbo playing cards, a fun quiz too and of course a raffle.
Of course there was a buffet and plenty of cake!

It was lovely to meet up with everyone and have an impromptu dance too.

Thank you to The Collaboration Station, and of course to Lynne, Adam and the volunteers too.

It is a very melodic Monday morning here at the Sight Life office! The Guitar Group are here for their session and the tunes are drifting into the office. All of the staff are tapping their feet, humming and occasionally singing along too whilst at their desks.
It is certainly a lovely way to start the week!

The Guitar Group are of course having fun too, supporting and playing together. The group is a mix of beginners, re-learners and experienced players, all led by our volunteer Colin. They enjoy performing and socialising too.
