Accrington & District Blind Society is one of the smaller independent local charities supporting people with a sight loss in the UK. We serve a large part of East Lancashire including Hyndburn and parts of Rossendale.

STOP PRESS: Our next Living with Sight Loss Course takes place on 21st to 23rd August contact Pauline Lucas at Bank Street for more information and to book your place.

Our Resource Centre displays many useful items, information and equipment, from little 'bump ons' to CCTV magnifiers and everything in between like clocks, watches, magnifiers and liquid level indicators. All items to be used by people with a sight loss are sold at cost.

Established in 1875 we recently celebrated our 140th anniversary. We are completely volunteer led and  rely on donations and legacies for our continued operation. As a voluntary organisation, we are very grateful to all our supporters and volunteers who work so hard to enable local blind and partially sighted people to see a better future.

Thank you to everyone who attended and made our Live, Grow and Share event such a success, we are currently working on the findings and analysing the various contributions and will publish them shortly
