EYECAN is a charity that supports sight impaired Islanders in Jersey. Previously known as the Jersey Blind Society, it is the only charity on the Island whose sole focus is to help those with sight impairments.
Our services and support are offered to all age groups, from infants through to the elderly. We aim to help enable those affected by sight impairment and their families benefit from tailored support, activities and social events, to ensure that they are empowered to live more independently with their sight loss. Our services and support are open to anyone with sight impairment.
We are one of Jersey’s oldest charities, and were established in 1886 as the Jersey Blind Society. In 2015 we changed to EYECAN, to reinforce that we are here to support people at all stages of sight loss.
