We help and support anyone, of any age, living with a visual impairment across Scotland. Our aim is to help people with sight loss to live independent and fulfilling lives.
Visibility Scotland services are open and we look forward to welcoming you at our premises. However, we would like to remind visitors that they should not attend an appointment if they suspect they have any Covid-19 symptoms. You can call the office on 0141 332 4632 and we will be happy to rearrange your appointment to another suitable time.

What we do
We are a charity supporting children and adults who are blind or partially sighted and live in Scotland. We also support families and carers of anyone affected by sight loss.
We can help you in lots of different ways whether you’ve just been diagnosed with sight loss or have been living with a visual impairment for several years. From support with the latest assistive technology to a listening ear at the end of the phone, we’re here to help you access the right support at the right time.
How can I help?
Every donation, big or small, will help us to provide life-changing services for people with sight loss. We wouldn’t be able to continue our vital work without the generosity of our supporters.
Host an office bake sale, sign up for a monthly donation or take part in a sponsored run. There’s a way for everyone to get involved!
