SEE – Support. Enable. Evolve.
We are an independent charity dedicated to supporting and engaging with people across West Sussex who are blind or partially sighted. We empower them by providing tailored support, building confidence, and promoting inclusivity.
We understand that a sight loss diagnosis can be a devastating and life-changing time. We are a caring and trusted team who will help relieve fear and anxiety by helping you to adapt and give you the confidence to do the things you want to do.
We create personalised support plans to help people access support and maintain their independence after a sight loss diagnosis. Using a holistic, person-centred approach, we provide advice, accessibility aids and a caring, friendly and inclusive community.
We have been supporting blind and partially sighted people across West Sussex for over 100 years. During this time we have seen some significant changes – from our way of life, employment opportunities, methods of communication and the growth in technology.
While the type of support we provide has had to adapt to meet the changing needs of our members and the increasing demand for our support, what hasn’t changed, and in fact has become even more necessary in the past year, is the need to communicate. Moving from Braille and Moon in the 1920s to mobile phones and video calls in the 2020s.
Championing and campaigning for the needs and rights of blind and sight impaired people continues to be a sector-wide priority, too. Feelings of isolation continue to be felt keenly and our volunteers are still playing a vital role in helping us reach out and support people across our county.
