About our cause

Warrington VIP (Visually Impaired People) provides a much loved and valued service for the community by helping blind and partially sighted people come to terms with site loss and to live independently.

We offer;

  • Home visiting service
  • Weekly lunch club
  • Fortnightly dominoes club
  • Advice for aids, welfare & devices to promote independence

VIP are very proud to be celebrating 100 years since the charity was set up. When 23 year old Rex Furness was working in a laboratory in Crossfields. Rex was involved in a top secret development for the military when an explosion blew up in his face leaving him blind. Whilst learning to cope with life without sight, he thought of all the other people in the area living with the same problem as he had. He decided to make their welfare his chief concern. On January 23rd 1923, The Warrington, Widnes and District Society for the Blind was founded. A building was acquired in Museum Street which provided offices, a library and workshops, where members could make baskets, stockings and woven cane chairs. Payments from sales of goods were passed on to members who were considered unemployable, providing them with an income allowing them to contribute and feel valued.

Rex passed away in 1971, aged 77, but his legacy lives on in Warrington Visually Impaired People.

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service!

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

Vicky James

Deputy CEO
