the living paintings trust
We give thousands of blind and partially sighted people the opportunity to
borrow our Touch to See books from a free postal library. Our books are enjoyed
at home with family and friends, in schools, or for adults as members of one of
our community Touch to See Book Clubs around the country. There are up to two
million people in the UK living with severe sight loss, including 20,000
children. One in six of us will become blind or partially sighted by the time we
reach 75. Blind and partially sighted people face constant challenges, for
children they can’t take part in the same activities as their peers and siblings
and often feel excluded, and in later life sight loss can be linked to
increasing isolation and depression. Giving access to the visual world through
Touch to See books Living Paintings helps by giving blind and partially sighted
people access to the visual world.
