0800 987 1087Welcome to Visibility Scotland
We help and support anyone of any age living with vision impairment across Scotland. Our aim is to help vision-impaired people live independent and fulfilling lives.
Terminology note
The website will use the term “vision impairment,” which encompasses sight impaired, blind, partially sighted, severely sight impaired, sight loss, sensory loss and sensory needs. However, the authors acknowledge that this may not be the preferred language for some individuals.
What we do
We can help you in lots of different ways whether you’ve just been diagnosed with vision impairment or have been living with vision 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 you can help
Every donation, big or small, will help us to provide life-changing services for people with vision impairment. 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 event. There’s a way for everyone to get involved!
