The Dorset Blind Association helps over 1,000 blind and visually impaired people a month, by providing such services as community support workers, social clubs and home visiting volunteers, but receives no government funding for their work.
Dorset Blind Association CEO Jonathan Holyhead said, we are pleased to welcome SWVA on board as supporters and hope that this is the start of a long successful relationship.
