northamptonshire association for the blind (nab)

Northamptonshire Association for the Blind has been working with blind and partially sighted people since we were founded in 1896. Originally formed to help unemployed blind people in Northampton town, nab has expanded its services over the years and helped thousands of visually impaired people to regain their dignity and confidence. Today we are the largest provider of services to visually impaired people in Northamptonshire, yet we remain a wholly independent charity, run by local people for local people. Our goal is to offer the services and support people with sight loss to lead full and rewarding lives.
