1858 holds special meaning for us; it’s the year we first began supporting blind and partially sighted people in our community. Since then, we have focused on making a genuine difference in their lives. The 1858 Corporate Club is a way to keep that legacy alive by bringing together local businesses in Gloucestershire who care about their community.

When you join the 1858 Club, you’re not just adding your name to a list; you’re becoming part of something bigger. Your membership not only helps us provide vital services like training, assistive technology, and emotional support to people living with sight loss, but also offers you the opportunity to be part of a community that cares. Insight Gloucestershire is a lifeline helping people with sight loss to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.

The 1858 Club will be launching in Spring 2025, so this is your chance to find out more and become a founding member of our club!
