Sight loss affects people of all ages from newborn babies to the elderly and its impact on day to day living can be huge. Blindness and visual impairment affect one in sixty of the population in the UK. There are around 4000 registered blind and partially sighted people in Buckinghamshire alone, and the number is expected to increase.

Buckinghamshire Association for Blind and Partially Sighted People, famously known as BAB, is a UK registered charity which provides support and services to anyone with serious sight loss throughout Buckinghamshire. Our services are available free of charge to anyone who needs it in the Buckinghamshire County Council area and some in the Milton Keynes area.

BAB's dedicated team of staff and volunteers is key to the success of our service provision. Our staff work from the Resource Centre in Aylesbury and provide invaluable support to our 3500 members. BAB also has over 600 volunteers and our Milton Keynes Resource Centre is manned by volunteers.

BAB is a local society which relies greatly on donations and legacies for the continuation of services. For further information, please contact our CEO Kiera Bentley via e-mail or on the Aylesbury Centre telephone number.
