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.
