Hounslow Council launches partnership with sight loss charities

Hounslow Council has entered into a new partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and the Middlesex Association for the Blind (MAB) to support people affected by sight loss in our borough.

The partnership has secured £500,000 over three years to benefit Hounslow’s blind and partially sighted community. 

The funding also provides a project manager, who will further improve pathways for visually impaired people by working closely with the Council.
