Our purpose is to provide high quality, innovative services to blind, visually impaired and those with profound disabilities across the West Midlands. We aim to fulfill this objective by:

• Providing expert care, support, advice and information to people living with sight loss or complex disabilities in a number of specialist fields including optometry, rehabilitation, community support and direct care. 
• To enhance lives through multi-disciplinary approaches and by involving and supporting their families and carers. 
•  Raising awareness of the issues people with a visual impairment or profound disabilities may face and to campaign for change when appropriate.

Sight Loss Support 

We understand to suddenly lose your sight is a very frightening and isolating experience. One of the ways we support people in the local area is by our befriending and welfare service.

We have partnered with RNIB to implement a new Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Service. Our impact data shows how this service has significantly increased our clients’ understanding and the ability to better manage their sight loss condition.

Complex Needs Support

Our day service for people with complex disabilities has been rated 'Good' by Birmingham City Council, the highest rating that can be achieved. During our inspection we were highly commended for our approach to supporting communication and personalisation. Our team support over 95 clients in the day centre and provide engaging activities during the day to provide learning and development opportunities.

We provide a care and support to 14 tenants at our Supported Living Scheme - Millward Place in Kings Norton, Birmingham.  Working in partnership with Bromford Housing we help our tenants to live independent lives in their own self-contained apartments providing them with a safe and secure long-term home.  We have been rated ‘Good’ for this service following our last CQC inspection. 

As a charity, being able to make a difference to the lives of those who live at Millward place is very important to our staff/management team.
