Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind

Registered charity 207544, on the register since 22 September 1962. The 28th largest charity in England and Wales by income.

What it says it does

Seventy five per cent of blindness in the world is either avoidable or treatable. Sightsavers works with partners in developing countries to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote equality of opportunity for disabled people. Our work alleviates poverty among poor and marginalised communities and thus helps to realise the internationally accepted Millenium Development Goals.
