Blind Foundation

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, Blind Foundation has been a beacon of hope and support for over seven decades, serving the visually impaired community with unwavering dedication and passion. Our mission is rooted in empowering individuals to lead fulfilling, independent lives, regardless of their visual capabilities. We are more than just an organisation; we're a family that extends our hands to those in need. We provide emotional support, guidance, and practical assistance for everything from equipment and mobility training to financial aid. Our team is a blend of seasoned professionals, volunteers, and, most importantly, people who have experienced visual impairment themselves – individuals who truly understand the unique challenges our community faces. We pride ourselves on our Guide Dog Services, an integral part of our work that not only provides mobility but also fosters companionship and a sense of security. But we don't stop there; employment assistance is another cornerstone of our mission. We strive to ensure that every individual who wishes to work can do so, regardless of their visual abilities. Our story began in 1947, born out of the need to support those living with visual impairments. Over the years, we've grown and evolved, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of technology and societal expectations. Yet, our commitment to our mission remains steadfast. We are Blind Foundation – a testament to resilience, community, and the unyielding human spirit. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with visual impairment for years, we are here for you. We walk this journey with you, offering a helping hand, a listening ear, and a shoulder to lean on. Join us in our mission to empower the visually impaired, build a more inclusive society, and create a brighter future for all. Welcome to Blind Foundation – your partner in sightlessness.
