My Story


The Beacon Centre is a well-established local charity that provides support and advice to visually impaired people living across the Black Country and Staffordshire. In the Black Country alone, there are over 36,000 people living with sight loss and this figure is set to double to some 72,000 by 2050.

We provide a range of services including activity programmes, life skills, digital and IT training, health and wellbeing, low vision advice, residential services, and domiciliary care in the community services.
