The Big Give week – double your donation to Sight Life!
If you were considering supporting Sight Life this Christmas, the best way is to donate during the ‘Big Give Christmas Challenge’ which takes place between Tuesday 28 November and Tuesday 05 December 2023.
During this period, the campaign will double your donation so your contributions will go twice as far with the help of the Big Give’s Champion.
You can donate direct via The Big Give online, call into the resource centre at Jones Court where we can support you to donate online, or speak to a member of staff in your area.
Sight Life does not charge for its services. We rely on fundraising and donations for most of our income so your support this Christmas time would be greatly appreciated – and doubled!
For more information, or to find out other ways to donate, please call our Fundraising Manager on 02920 398900 or [email protected]
The donation page will be live from Tuesday 28th November bit.ly/SightLifeGive

About Sight Life:
Sight Life (formerly Cardiff Institute for the Blind) supports people who are blind or partially sighted in south Wales. In 2020/21 we helped more than 3,000 people in Cardiff, Swansea, RCT (Rhondda Cynon Taf), Neath and Port Talbot.
Our Registered Charity Number is 214131 (England & Wales)
Our Company number is 00149982.
We provide statutory services to people with sight loss on behalf of the local Councils in Cardiff and Swansea.
In cooperation with the NHS, we provide a support service (ECLO: Eye Clinic Liaison Officer) for patients newly diagnosed with sight loss in University Hospital of Wales (UHW “The Heath”) in Cardiff.
Our aims are to ensure that people with sight loss can take part in all aspects of society, including work and leisure.
We offer a range of training, clubs and activities including audio-described theatre trips, confidence building, cooking, drama, employment support, fitness, gardening, IT, music, photography, rambling and yoga to people with sight loss.
Established in 1865, we are one of Wales’ oldest charities. In spring 2022 we returned to being an independent charity after being part of the UK wide RNIB Group since 2009.
We have approximately a dozen staff and annual income in the region of £400,000 from statutory contracts, grants, trusts, The National Lottery, donations and legacies.
Sight Life changed its name from Cardiff Institute for the Blind in 2019 to reflect the fact that we work beyond Cardiff, including Swansea and RCT (Rhondda Cynon Taf). The name change also recognises the fact that we support people with any degree of sight loss, not only those who are blind.
