A community for visually impaired people

We offer many services to our Clients, including home visits, transcription services, social outings and shopping escorts. Our social centre provides a place for the blind and partially sighted to socialise, eat and take part in many activities. Our volunteers visit people in their homes and also assist them with shopping and other tasks. We also arrange regular day trips and holidays.

We are very grateful for the work of our volunteers who give up their time to help us on a daily basis. We could not provide the services we run for our clients without them. If you also with to volunteer here at the Teesside & District Society for the Blind, please get in touch with us. Our volunteers fill a variety of roles, such as home visitors, minibus drivers, admin helpers and gardeners. If you think you are a good fit and have some free time to give, then we would love to hear from you!

The Teesside & District Society for the Blind was established in September 1960 and currently serves the local authority areas of Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton on Tees.  It is our aim to create a community for the blind and partially-sighted living in our area that improves their quality of life and assists them in staying independent. To this end, we provide a number of invaluable services and enjoyable activities which are made possible by our wonderful volunteers.
