About the Organisation
SeeAbility
Respect is our starting point, We spark imagination, We learn together to be our best, We believe in each other
About SeeabilityAt SeeAbility, we specialise in supporting people who have learning disabilities or autism, who may also have sight loss. Through our support, people live ambitious lives and achieve things they never thought possible, whether that's forming more friendships and relationships, enjoying new experiences and activities or finding employment.We encourage people with disabilities to challenge what they expect from life, from themselves and from wider society.The people we support overcome huge barriers to achieve exciting new things every day - they challenge us all to think about what’s possible and to rethink disability.Our self-advocacy, influencing and supported employment programmes mean more people with disabilities can achieve their ambitions, while challenging assumptions, attitudes and policies.We also campaign for better eye care for people with learning disabilities, who are ten times more likely to have sight loss. In 2023, we successfully convinced the NHS to provide sight tests in all special schools so the next generation can get the eye care they need. We also work with adults to provide information, advice and to build local pathways so people can find accessible sight tests at their own opticians.Registered as The Royal School for the Blind, SeeAbility is one of the oldest disability charities in the UK and has pioneered specialist support for over 225 years.VisionOur vision is for inclusive communities where people with sight loss, autism and learning disabilities participate as equal citizens.MissionOur mission is to champion and deliver ambitious support and preventative services alongside people with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss, enabling them to realise their goals each and every day.ValuesWe have co-produced a new set of values with people we support, families, colleagues and trustees. They will help us work towards a ‘people first’ culture that will support us as we work to achieve our strategy. These values represent people being at the heart of the charity and being the driving force for change.
