Essex Blind Charity

Limited public transport and facilities in rural areas means that many visually impaired people find it difficult to access the support they need.

We helped Essex Blind Charity to buy a mobile sight bus which travels to remote villages around Essex and provides local residents with access to the same services that are offered in larger towns.  As well as offering practical demonstrations of specialist equipment, they ensure people are made aware of other services that are available to help them.
