Bury Society for Blind & Partially Sighted People is a charitable organisation that provides a variety of services which aim to enhance the quality of life for all visually impaired people within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury.

We are partly funded by the Bury Metropolitan Borough Council; however we rely heavily on fundraising and grants to ensure the sustainability of the resource centre on Bolton Street. Bury.

The Society was founded in 1922 and for many years just held several social events each year for  visually impaired people. It wasn’t until 1994 that the Society became established with premises, staff, volunteers, a committee and trustees.

In 2005, the Society made the transition to a company limited by guarantee; the committee then became the Board of Directors.
