Blind Foundation

Nestled in the sun-kissed heart of Gisborne, Blind Foundation is more than just a name; it's a beacon of hope, resilience, and community spirit. Established with a vision to empower, our roots stretch back decades, growing steadily as we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of accessibility. At Blind Foundation, we believe that 'Getting Around' should never be a barrier. We are dedicated to providing guidance, support, and innovative solutions that help those living with visual impairments traverse their world with confidence. Our Guide Dog Services are not just pets; they are lifelines, transforming the lives of their handlers in ways words can scarcely capture. Beyond mobility, we nurture a vibrant Community and Support system. We provide a safe space where friendships blossom, shared experiences are exchanged, and collective strength is found. Our accessible Library serves as a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration, while our Daily Living Skills workshops equip our members with the tools they need to navigate their daily lives with independence and grace. Technology, too, plays a crucial role in our mission. We offer Adaptive Technology Guidance, helping individuals leverage the power of modern devices to overcome challenges and thrive. And when it comes to Sport and Leisure, we believe everyone deserves the chance to play, to compete, and to enjoy life to the fullest. Blind Foundation is not just a General Business; we are a family, bound together by shared experiences and united in our pursuit of a more inclusive world. We invite you to join us on this journey, to lend your voice to ours, and to help us shape a future where 'Getting Around' is but a step towards a life filled with possibilities. Welcome to Blind Foundation - Gisborne's shining light of hope and inclusion.
