Abstract

Much of the local action to help people with impaired vision has been with us for well over a century. You would think, therefore, that its purpose - its essential credo - would now be well established and clear. Not so. In fact its place in the firmament of community endeavour has never been more muddied and muddled. it is under pressure, under attack and insecure. Why is this so? This paper explores how local voluntary action has lost focus; and what can be done to reassert the values and mores that should underpin it.
