Story

BWBF believe access to audio entertainment and information can be life-changing for someone living with sight loss. Our radios are a lifelong support to people in financial need. And our easy to-use apps and skills open a world of audio content on the internet for people who might otherwise struggle to access it.

“When you’re installing the radio, you can almost see the light coming on in their life.”

Sight loss shouldn’t close the door to the experiences most people take for granted. But, sadly, too many people living with sight loss still face loneliness and social exclusion. Our free radios, apps and skills provide comfort and companionship, and keep people connected with their wider communities.

"I've got the same needs, desires, wants, aspirations and fears that every other person on this planet has. It's just my eyes that don't work."

About the charity

Living with sight loss can often be lonely and isolating. British Wireless helps to ease these feelings by providing the companionship of radio and a connection to the outside world. We supply specially adapted audio equipment on free loan to visually impaired people all across the UK.
