Can you help?

The services that the society provides cost over £200,000 each year. The number of visually impaired people in the Blackpool Fylde and Wyre areas that we help is rising all the time and the cost is continuing and improving these services is increasing year on year. For nearly a century the local community has supported us by remembering us in their Wills, making donations.
