About us

Founded in 1938, Wales Council of the Blind is the only independent umbrella agency for vision impairment in Wales representing blind and partially sighted people and the clubs and societies who support them. Our independence enables us to act as an impartial observer, advocate, intermediary and evaluator for this complex, diverse group of organisations and services.

We gather the opinions and views of people with sight loss through groups and consultation. We put their voice at the centre of what we do, reporting on their views to the people who are responsible for the services that help them. We also act as an agency to direct people to these services, giving them impartial advice and choice.

Sylw

Sylw is a weekly e-bulletin and monthly circular. It aims to provide the reader with links to information and resources available on the internet and highlight relevant news, events and opportunities. Find out more and sign up via http://wcb-ccd.org.uk/news

Perspectif

Perspectif is a database of services that are delivered by providers. There is also a library that will be added to over time and an events diary which is continually updated.

We now have an events calendar which can be filtered by year, month and a word search. Also, where events are provided by one of the service providers listed in Perspectif, you’ll find them listed below the record for that provider.

Perspectif is available at: http://wcb-ccd.org.uk/perspectif
