About us

Who we are

At RSBC, we want every blind child and their family to have the skills and confidence to live their life without limits.

There are just under 37,000 blind and partially sighted children and young people in England and Wales. Every day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss.

 

We create a better life for blind children, by helping every young person we work with to find and fulfil their own unique potential.

 

We are there for them from the point of diagnosis, guiding them and their families on their journey through sight loss. We support parents to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to help guide their child through sight loss, via our national Family Support Service and our Advice section.

 

We promote best-in-class, inclusive education and learning at all levels, from our residential further education facility, Dorton College, to our Employability course, which helps young blind people develop the skills to get into employment.

 

We help blind children and young people to build friendships, grow in independence and improve their resilience, through our Health and Well-being clubs, Social and Peer group (11-17), Social and Peer (18-25), Music Group and more.

TRUST: Respect and accountability

AMBITION: Confronting reality and driving results
