Nottingham is a city with a lot to offer to those who live, work in and visit it. We need your support to ensure that it is also a great place for blind, partially sighted and deaf-blind people too.
We champion access and equality across the city and county, ensuring that people with a visual impairment (or sight loss) can enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else. Join us and help us make a difference.
We are a local group of blind, partially sighted and deaf-blind people of all ages. The Nottingham Branch is one of the local branches making up NFBUK.
