Vision North Somerset

We are a local, independent charity supporting people in North Somerset who are blind or partially sighted. Our team provides practical help and emotional support so you can stay active, independent, and connected. We offer sight loss information and advice, low‑vision assessments, help with assistive technology, home visits, social and peer support groups, and activities that build confidence. We also work with partners and professionals to make services and spaces more accessible.

We rely on donations and grant funding to keep our services free or low‑cost, but the need in our community is growing. Lottery income gives us a reliable, year‑round source of funding, helping us plan ahead, retain skilled staff, and maintain the continuity people depend on. Unlike one‑off appeals, lottery proceeds provide the financial stability we need to respond quickly, reduce waiting times, and expand the practical support that makes daily life easier.

By playing the lottery, you directly fund life‑changing support—more home visits, more social groups to combat isolation, more low‑vision equipment, and more training in technology that keeps people connected. Every ticket helps us provide tailored guidance after diagnosis, support with benefits and mobility, and accessible activities across North Somerset. It’s a simple way to turn small weekly contributions into consistent, meaningful impact for local people living with sight loss.
