Society and Sight Loss Centre Home Page
We are a small, independent local charity, offering a programme of practical support and equipment to address the challenges of sight loss.
The heart of our work is promoting the well-being and independence of blind & partially sighted people in Bury and surrounding areas.
We rely solely on grants, donations and local fundraising to maintain these services.
