Sight Life’s Spring Ball 2026

Join us for an unforgettable evening of laughter, networking and fine dining at Sight Life’s annual Spring Ball - celebrating the support we provide to people living with sight loss across South Wales.

Fundraising Concert Friday 24 April 2026

Sight Life, formerly known as Cardiff Institute for the Blind until October 2019, offers a wide range of local services to support blind and partially sighted people across much of South Wales. Our mission is to help people live independent, active, social, and fulfilling lives. Established in 1865, we are one of Wales' oldest charities. We are proud to have rugby legend Sir Gareth Edwards, CBE, as our President, and Wales' renowned female impersonator, Ceri Dupree, as our patron.

We celebrated St David's Day in style not long ago with a lovely afternoon of entertainment, tea and Welsh cakes at The Bethany Baptist Church, Rhiwbina.
We had wonderful entertainment from The Plough Singers who entertained the audience with show tunes, Welsh classics and feel good sing a long songs.

The rain did not dampen our spirits and there was flag waving and a rousing rendition of the Welsh National Anthem too.

A huge thank you to The Plough Singers, Gill and Tom at the Bethany Baptist Church, and VEST Community Transport who transported members to the venue.
A big thank you to the knit and natter group and volunteer Sharon for the knitted leeks and daffodils that were sold, and for the knitted novelty chicks and ducks for Easter too!

As always a massive thank you to all involved for a lovely afternoon which raised vital funds for Sight Life.
#GoSightLife!
