The National Federation of the Blind of the United Kingdom (NFBUK) is an independent, non-political, self help campaigning pressure group and registered charity run by blind and partially sighted people.
With representatives on numerous committees of other organisations of and for blind and partially sighted people, they campaign to improve the overall welfare and quality of daily life for all blind, partially sighted, deaf-blind people and those whose sight impairment is part of multi disability, in the United Kingdom.
They have a network of local Branches around the country and a postal branch each in England and in Scotland for those members not able to get to a local group. The NFBUK has an e-group and a national audio magazine where members can exchange views about subjects that affect or interest them. They provide information for members in their branches in Braille, large-print and various forms of audio media.
The NFBUK want blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted people to be treated and receive the same dignity and respect as members of society. They want to be able to move safely around their locality, have education and training for themselves, families and their children, get a job, have a social life - do exactly what the average UK citizen does.
