Welcome to the BWBF website

Are you aware of these startling facts?

  • There are more than 2 million people in the UK with a sight problem.
  • Approximately 25,000 of these are children
  • Ninety per cent of people with sight problems are over 60
  • Every day around 100 more people will start to experience loss of sight.

    Our job is to try and supply radio and audio sets to all registered blind and partially sighted people who are in need.

All of our state-of-the-art audio sets are specially adapted for the needs of blind people. And the high contrast controls are of great help to partially sighted people. You can read full specifications for all of them as well as buy them online here
When Felix Gweru lost his sight the thing he missed more than most was
reading his bible.
'The Concerto is a great comfort to me. The scripture music touches my heart and sometimes I stay up all night and listen to it and it makes me incredibly happy.'

British Wireless for the Blind Fund has developed a programme with Billy Baxter  for use in schools.
The programme links to the requirements of the National Curriculum.
