HERIB (Hull & East Riding Institute for the Blind)

Who we are

HERIB is a UK registered charity which provides support for people with sight loss in Hull and the East Riding.

We believe no-one in Hull & East Yorkshire should have to face sight loss alone and every visually impaired person can enjoy the same opportunities and quality of life as those who are fully sighted.

Our mission is to improve and enrich the quality of life for local people at any and all stages of sight loss, through the provision of a wide range of support services, enabling them to reach their full potential and lead independent lives.

We currently support more than 2,300 local people with a range of visual impairments and work closely in partnership with local authorities, other local charities and a variety of support groups to provide the most appropriate support to suit each individual’s specific needs.

HERIB receives no government funding and our work is only possible thanks to our generous supporters.
