A charitable company limited by guarantee, Reading Association for the Blind's roots go back to 1883 but the Association in its present form dates from 1926. It is our aim to help and assist blind and partially sighted people in Reading to provide leisure and recreational facilities and to work for the improvement of the quality of their lives. To this end we offer handicraft clubs, social activities, a resource and information centre and a home visiting service. Opening hours: Tuesdays & Fridays: 9:00-15:00, Wednesdays: 9:00-13:00

Reading Association for the blind is very proud to announce that the courtyard garden has won GOLD in the Reading Blooms 2010 competition. Our garden has been lovingly tended by Janet Hayward, Mick Paige, members and volunteers throughout the year and their hard work and efforts have been rewarded by winning the title of Best Communal Garden. Janet and Mick received a cup and certificate on behalf of RAB which now proudly sits in our window.
