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.

Who’s ready for our first 2026 young people’s karaoke social at Revs on Castle Street next Wednesday 21st Jan? We're not our usual venue and we’ll have our very own private karaoke booths so you can sing your hearts out. Just a quick reminder that it’s on and it’ll be brilliant to catch up with everyone. And don’t forget, Stuart our Marketing and Communications Assistant will be joining us between 4pm and 5pm to work on promoting our young people's groups to highlight why they're so important to young VI's, what the groups really mean to you and how much do fun we have. If you want to start getting out more to meet other young VI's, grow your confidence and independence and have fun at the same time or you know someone that does then email [email protected] to let me know.
