\nWe in NFBUK want blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted people to be treated equally and receive the same dignity and respect as other members of society.\u00a0 We want to be able to move safely around our local areas, take part in education and training, get a job, have a social life \u2013\u00a0 do\u00a0 exactly what the average UK citizen expects to do.<\/p>\n

What do we do?<\/h3>\n

We work with many other charities and organisations, and also with local and national government departments and committees who make decisions that affect blind and partially sighted people.\u00a0\u00a0 We keep them updated about the problems and issues that we, as blind and partially sighted people, face and work with them to find solutions.<\/p>\n

How do we meet and operate?<\/h3>\n

We have a network of local Branches<\/a> around the country and a postal Branch for those members not able to get to a local group.\u00a0 NFBUK has an e-group and a national audio magazine where members can exchange views about subjects that affect or interest them. We also circulate FedNews<\/a>, a bi-monthly magazine of news and views from Branches, members, government and other sources, in both audio and e-mail.<\/p>\n

From our office in Wakefield, we provide information for our members and their Branches in Braille, large-print, e-mail and various forms of audio media.<\/p>\n

NFBUK does not receive any Government funding and it is thanks to the backing and donations from our members and supporters that we are able to keep campaigning. You could help NFBUK by setting up a regular donation or by making a single donation. Thank you for your support<\/p>\n
