Royal Blind

About

Sight Scotland, formerly Royal Blind, is Scotland’s largest visual impairment organisation, dedicated to addressing visual impairment challenges for over 230 years. Our services support people at all stages of sight loss and include learning services, community support, residential care, enterprise, and research funding. The Royal Blind School now serves children and young people with complex needs and offers outreach services to local authorities. The Scottish Braille Press focuses on transcribing large print and audio documents, primarily for the financial sector. Our residential care services, Forward Vision and Allermuir, and our after-school and holiday club, Kidscene, have been operating for over a decade. In more recent times, we established our Community Services, through which we are able to provide support to people within their communities and through our helpline across the whole of Scotland.
