Why we need your help
We receive no guaranteed government funding. We’re totally dependent on voluntary donations. We are totally dependent upon support from individuals, businesses and grant making trusts, whether it is in the form of donations of time or money. It all makes a real difference to our work.
It is a core principle of Living Paintings that all of our services are provided completely free of charge to all blind and partially sighted people in the UK and Eire. This means that there are no barriers, particularly financial, to those in need being able to benefit.
Working on an annual budget of about £370,000 and with an amazing team of 220 volunteers our work currently benefits around 9,000 people, a number that grows each week.
Not only do we want to continue to provide our library members with a completely free service and develop new packs for them to explore, but we also want to be able to reach the thousands of blind and partially sighted people in the country who are as yet unaware of our service.
