Today was our Walk, Talk and Tuck In session, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. We had a fantastic time strolling in the sunshine, surrounded by lush greenery and even better company.
Something Truly Extraordinary
One year ago, our friend Bob Coote did something truly extraordinary.
At 92 years old, and living with macular degeneration, Bob climbed into the cockpit of a two-seater Spitfire at Biggin Hill and took to the skies over Kent. It was a moment decades in the making.
Small Moments
It’s not the big milestones that define living with sight loss. It’s the small moments that most people never notice.

Ever notice your sight seems worse when you're tired?
You're not imagining it.
Partial sight is still sight loss, and your experience is valid.
Did you know that many people with partial sight feel like they don't "qualify" as visually impaired? A 2024 peer-reviewed study in Frontiers in Psychology found that people with partial sight often struggle with this feeling of "not being visually impaired enough"; largely because public perception of blindness is still shaped by the idea of complete sight loss.
We're at Sight Village Leeds Today!

Holiday season is here and we want to hear from you!
Whether it's a city break, a coastal retreat, a cruise, or somewhere closer to home. Every journey looks a little different when you're navigating the world with sight loss.
Most people move through the world without ever questioning whether it was built for them.
For people with sight loss, that question comes up every single day.
