About Us

This Year is the 110th Anniversary of the society. The aim of the Society is to encourage people who are blind and partially sighted to be as independent as possible

We aim to provide a quality service sensitive to the individual needs of those who are visually impaired on the Isle of Wight helping them to attain the highest level of independence. We will help our staff and volunteers to fulfil their aims by appropriate support and placement.

A Brief History of the Society

During the mid-Victorian period in Great Britain, an interest and concern began regarding the plight of blind people and their families living in the community. This concern brought about the formation of local societies whose specific aims were to support needy blind people. Understandably, this trend started in the larger cities but eventually societies for the blind began to emerge in some of the more rural areas. It was probably due to this growth in interest and concern that caused the Isle of Wight Society for the Blind to be born.
