About our charity

KAB supports sight impaired people to live independent lives. We provide help and support to over 15,000 blind and partially-sighted people throughout Kent, Medway and Bromley. We work with children and adults, people with learning and physical disabilities, and people who are deafblind, and we also support families, friends and employers. <p> It can take time to adjust to sight loss. Our staff help people find ways to overcome the difficulties and encourage people to live life to the full, whatever their interests. <p> If you were to lose your sight, KAB would be there for you. We'd offer emotional support, explain your eye condition and its effects, assess your particular individual needs, give advice on benefits and concessions and help you to get them, and we'd help you to access the specialist equipment and aids that could make your life that much easier. We'd be there to help with mobility and getting about safely, help you to return to the workplace safely, or take up new pastimes or hobbies and meet other people. We also produce a gree regional news service, Kent Talking News, whish is distributed to 2,000 households in our area. <p> In the meantime, we rely on you; your support for our work makes a huge difference. Thank you.
