Vision Support is a regional charity which was established in 1876, we now operate in many parts of Cheshire and North Wales providing local support and services within the local community. We exist to support vision impaired people and raise awareness of their needs. 

Everything we do is consciously directed towards helping us to achieve our Mission:

Raise awareness about vision impairment and provide services for people who are blind or partially sighted that aim to increase independence and wellbeing, and reduce social isolation across North East Wales and Cheshire.
