Sight Life’s Spring Ball 2026

Join us for an unforgettable evening of laughter, networking and fine dining at Sight Life’s annual Spring Ball - celebrating the support we provide to people living with sight loss across South Wales.

Fundraising Concert Friday 24 April 2026

Join us for a fantastic evening featuring Caerphilly Ladies Choir, Cardiff Male Choir and Sight Life’s Guitar Group.

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.
