Visionary (charity)

Visionary, formerly known as the National Association of Local Societies for Visually Impaired People (NALSVI),^[1] based in Doncaster, England, is the umbrella organization serving over 120 UK Charities supporting local people with a visual impairment. NALSVI was established in 1991 and through its various members is able to reach over 350,000 blind and partially sighted people.^[2]

NALSVI is administered by an Executive Committee drawn up of elected representatives from individual visual impairment charities across 12 regions of the UK. A Conference is held at Chester College each July. Members meet on a regular basis to share information, undertake training and work on projects or on campaign issues of benefit to visually impaired people.
