Across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, essential services for people living with sight loss and those who are deafblind are continuing, with BID Services stepping in to carry forward this important work.
Alongside this, the community spaces where connection happens also remain, and with your support, will continue to grow and thrive.
For many, something as simple as a meet up means far more than it might seem. Sitting down for a cup of tea, meeting with familiar friends, sharing conversation in a space where communication feels accessible and understood, without needing to explain yourself. These are the moments that create belonging and remind people they are not alone.
This sense of connection is just as vital for children and young people, helping them grow in confidence, develop independence, and build meaningful relationships with others who share similar experiences.
These services are here, and with your support, they can continue far into the future.
We are asking for your help to keep these spaces open and accessible. A donation today will make a difference, and if you’re able to give monthly, you’ll help protect these services for the long term.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came together to raise money for these services previously 💙
