Benefits and Concessions
Supporting blind and partially sighted people to access the help they deserve
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.

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.
