Navigating the world of benefits, concessions and financial support can feel overwhelming — especially if you don’t know where to begin. Many blind and partially sighted people are missing out on life‑changing support simply because they’re unaware of what exists. This hub brings together clear, accessible information about the financial assistance, discounts, travel passes, NHS help and everyday cost‑saving schemes available to you. From government benefits to leisure concessions, we explain who is eligible, what each scheme offers, and how to apply. Whether you’re looking for help with daily living costs, travel support, health‑related expenses or practical assistance, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Who is this for?

This page is designed for:

  • Blind and partially sighted people
  • People living with sight‑related health conditions
  • Carers, family members and friends
  • Professionals supporting someone with sight loss

If you’re unsure what you may be entitled to, you’re in the right place.
