Ambitious, inclusive and specialist support 

With our ambitious support, people break down barriers that stand in their way of achieving both the small everyday ambitions, and the big life-changing ones.

In our social care work, we grow and learn alongside people to discover the best ways to support them. We are bringing our personalised support to more people in our new homes in Kent and Dorset and our expanded Redhill supported living homes.

We work with people to build a picture of what’s important to them. Everyone wants to have control of their life, making decisions on what they want to change and experience.

We continue to be ambitious so more people can live, love, thrive and belong.

More people getting the eye care they need 

People with learning disabilities are 10 times more likely to have serious sight problems. For children it's 28 times.

After over a decade of campaigning, our eye care team won a commitment from the Government to the NHS Special Schools Eye Care Service. Thousands of children will now get eye tests at school.

But it’s not just about getting it right for the next generation. Training community eye care professionals on how to make eye tests accessible is key. We reached 3,863 people with our eye care awareness training.

We also supported the South East London Easy Eye Care Service rollout, improving eye care for 30,000 adults with learning disabilities and autism.

More people participating in and changing society, as equal citizens 

All our work at SeeAbility is shaped by lived experience of learning disabilities, autism and sight loss. 

Our Listen Up! team of people with lived experience influenced almost 1,400 people. Through sharing their experiences of healthcare, social care and how it impacts their daily lives, they are shaping opinion and broadening views. 

Our Ready, Willing and Able supported employment team also work to break down barriers to inclusion in the workplace. 

It’s not just about finding any job, but the right one for the person, helping people to feel supported and to build careers.
