Beacon Centre for the Blind

At Beacon, we’ve been supporting people living with sight loss in innovative ways since 1875. From teaching braille in the 1800s, to helping people get the most from assistive technology today, we’ve always been passionate about supporting those living with sight loss to live the fullest and most independent lives possible.

Today, our Centre in Sedgley provides a wide range of support for those living with sight loss across the Black Country and Staffordshire.

From helping with low vision, wellbeing, digital skills and employment, to simply being there to provide advice, we’re there to make the day-to-day challenges easier so our members can focus on getting the most out of life.

These days, we support thousands of people with sight loss across our region, as we have done for many years.
