Corporate and community partnerships: creating change, together
Partnering with businesses and community groups ensures more people live well with sight loss, while helping partners build genuinely inclusive services and workplaces. We’ve already partnered with 40+ local organisations, and we’d love to work with more who share our values.

Vision impairment training and accreditation
Help your organisation become more accessible, and work towards Sight Loss Friendly in York status. Our paid-for training in sight loss awareness, sighted guiding, and accessible digital communication is delivered by people with real, lived experience.
