What we do

Sight Life (formerly Cardiff Institute for the Blind) provides local services and lifelong support, so that blind and partially sighted people in South Wales can enjoy fulfilled lives.

We aim to locally support blind and partially sighted people to maintain or improve their physical and emotional wellbeing by providing advice and support to help people exercise, manage medication, eat healthily, increase confidence and self-esteem, give them a sense of security and future, and reduce incidents of falls and accidents. We want people to enjoy independent and fulfilled lives by helping them to be part of a community, to take part in social and leisure activities, get out and about more, to be able and willing to shop alone, to visit friends, be digitally included, have more income and be able to manage money, to volunteer or work, and to take part in lifelong learning.

Who do we support

Blind and partially sighted people and anyone supporting them. We mainly cover Cardiff, Swansea, and Rhondda Cynon Taf but can usually also provide information and advice to people living in neighbouring boroughs.

This service is for people aged 18+.
