Focus Birmingham
Focus Birmingham exists to ensure that individuals with visual impairments and other disabilities are fully supported in living their lives independently and to the full.
Whether they are working with someone who has been blind since birth or someone who is only now dealing with the onset of a visual impairment, they offer a range of services that are appropriate to the specific needs of the individual.
These might involve the early recognition of a potential problem and preventative measures to avoid the development of that problem. Or they might provide counselling services to allow someone to come to terms with the changes to their life and to move forward positively. Through their enablement activity, they can provide aids to vision that allow people to resume areas of their lives that they thought were lost to them.
Based in Harborne Focus Birmingham also have outreach facilities across the city. Each year, they work with 7,000 people across all ages and cultural backgrounds to support them in living independent and fulfilling lives.
