Make a Referral - BlindAid

We encourage our co-colleagues in social services, sensory teams, occupational therapy, community mental health teams, and other organisations and charities to register their details on our website.

We will not use your details for any other purpose and you will not receive any marketing material from us. When you register your details are stored and when you return to our site to make a new referral or apply for a grant the application forms will self-populate with your details saving you time.

We only accept referrals or grant applications for Service Users that live within the 12 Inner London Boroughs and the City of London and who are over the age of 18.

If you would like to call us to discuss any of our services, make a self-referral, or if you have any other questions please get in touch with us on: 0207 403 6184.

Please note that we do not accept self-referrals for grant applications.

We are unable to accept referrals made by post, please scan and email all non-website referrals to: referrals@blindaid.org.uk

Camden Community Project:

Due to overwhelming demand we are currently unable to accept referrals for the Camden Community Project.
