Staffordshire Blind was constituted to provide a support service to people with sight problems, their carers and families. We aim to promote independence and enhance daily living for people with impaired vision by giving information, advice and practical support.

Should you or your family be experiencing problems, Staffordshire Blind is here to help. You may wish to discuss the difficulties of coping with daily living tasks, such as telling the time, reading, writing or using the telephone. We can visit you at home or come to our specialist shop at the centre in Stafford. If you are attending Stafford, North Staffs or Burton hospital, our staff at the information desk in the eye clinic outpatient department will be pleased to help you - no need to make an appointment.

The specialist shop at the centre includes easy-to-see watches, low vision lighting, magnification equipment, large print crossword, diaries, telephone and address books. Electronic aids such as talking bathroom, kitchen scales and talking microwaves are also on display. Equipment can be tried and tested, with most items available for purchase at the time of your visit.

You are invited to visit our new computer room where we have a talking document scanner, search the internet - which will speak to you, send an email or transcribe print in to Braille.

We have a friendly team of both blind and sighted staff who will always make you welcome at the Centre.
