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.

We had our monthly Macular Group meeting on Monday and our guest speaker was PC Dixon to talk about hate crime.
It was very informative and of course there were a lot of questions too. It is important to know that hate crime is taken seriously and that there is support available.
Thank you PC Dixon for coming along to the group.
#GoSightLife!
