Welcome to the Action for Blind People website
Action for Blind People is a national charity with local reach, providing practical help and support to blind and partially sighted people of all ages. We listen, we understand, we act.
Welfare Reform Bill - act now
The Welfare Reform Bill is moving back to the Commons in February where MPs will have the chance to either vote for or reject some important changes made by the Lords. This includes extending the time limit on contributory Employment Support Allowance (ESA) to two years. This is your chance to tell your MP to vote for key amendments proposed by the Lords.
