The Innovation Era: Part 2.

Between 2018 and 2022, the Society entered an exciting new chapter, changing its name from Fife Society for the Blind to Seescape. The rebrand was launched by then Chairman Jacqui Low and CEO Carl Hodson, marking a new era for the organisation. In 2020, our optician service began delivering specialist diabetic and glaucoma clinics on behalf of the NHS, allowing us to further develop our expertise in low vision care.

In 2022, following the sale of our Kirkcaldy property, Seescape moved to a new home in Glenrothes. The move was launched by Chairman Doug Stalker and CEO Lesley Carcary, marking another important milestone in our journey.

In 2025, Seescape proudly celebrated its 160th anniversary with a series of events throughout the year. To commemorate this significant milestone, we also created a Heritage Film, made possible through funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and produced in partnership with Media Co-op. The film explores the history of our charity and how the organisation has evolved over the years. Watch our Heritage Film here.

In 2026, Seescape welcomed a new CEO and Fundraising Manager to the team, continuing our commitment to supporting people with sight and hearing loss and looking ahead to the next chapter of our story. Find out more on our Meet the Team page.

The innovation era.

The 1990s marked the beginning of the Society’s growing focus on assistive technology, helping our clients live more independently. In 1999, Judith Barton became the Society’s first dual-qualified Rehabilitation Worker, specialising in both independent living and mobility.

Between 2000 and 2006, recognising the unique needs of people living with both hearing and sight loss, the Fife Sensory Impairment Centre was established at Wilson Avenue in Kirkcaldy. This was a partnership between Fife Society for the Blind, RNIB and Sense Scotland. In 2006, we became the first agency in the UK to trial Neurological Vision Training (NVT) for patients experiencing sight loss following a stroke, further demonstrating our commitment to innovation and specialist support.

In 2015, the Right Honourable Gordon Brown became our Honorary President. His family also had longstanding connections with the Society, with his father serving on the Board of Management and his mother supporting the Kirkcaldy Ladies Committee. That same year, the Society launched Nairn Optician, Scotland’s first charity optician service, creating a more joined-up approach to patients’ eye health.
