This is a report about how we made a difference in 2021 and early 2022. 

We supported 258 people in their homes. 

We reached over 14,000 people with programmes like Ready, Willing and Able, Creating Connections and our eye care work. 
 

You can read more about them in this report.

84 percent of people we support say that we’re helping them to develop their skills. 

We have expert teams who can support people with their individual needs. 

We have vision rehabilitation workers and behaviour consultants who work together to help people learn new life skills. 
 

We use positive behaviour support, which has helped people move out of hospitals and into their own homes. 
 

All of our homes and support services are rated as Good. 

9 in 10 people we support say our support is Good or Very Good. 

96 percent of family and friends said we have done a good job in keeping people safe from Covid. 

David is someone we support.  

We supported him to become more confident. 

We also helped him to reduce the medication he was using. 

We think that it is best to deal with problems early on.

Our eye care team help people to get help with their sight before problems get worse. 

We won an award for convincing the NHS to give sight tests to all children in special schools. 
 

There are 29 special schools supported by our eye care team. 
 

That means over 3000 children.

We helped over 11,000 adults with learning disabilities to understand eye care. 

James is a child who goes to a special school. 

Our eye care team gave him an eye test and found out that he had really poor sight. 

We gave James glasses and now he is able to take part in more at school. 

Ben is someone we support.

He is deaf, so we recruited support workers who were also deaf so he could communicate with them using sign language. 

We want people with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss to take part in their communities. 

Our Creating Connections programme helps people to learn how to use phones and computers so they can get involved online. 

Last year, we helped 2,375 people with learning disabilities learn new digital skills. 

We taught digital skills to 842 people who work in social care. 

Chris is someone we support. 

He likes to connect with friends but has never had a smartphone.

We helped Chris buy his first smartphone and now he can speak to his friends all the time.

Our Ready, Willing and Able programme helps people with disabilities to get jobs. 

Beatrix is someone we helped to find work. 

She now works as a waitress in a really good restaurant in Bristol.

We have lots of helpful guides on our website to help people looking for work. 

We are helping over 60 people to find jobs.

Our volunteers help us to make a big difference. 

During the pandemic, volunteers arranged telephone calls so they could stay in touch with people they support.

Our engagement team helps people with disabilities speak out about the issues that matter to them. 

Emily was part of the engagement team. 

Emily spoke out about what it means for people with disabilities to live a good life.

We have started supporting people in an exciting new way. 

In Redhill, the supported living houses are mixed together with other houses. 

This means people with disabilities are included more than ever.
 

We want to support our colleagues with their mental health. 

We now have wellbeing coaches, who help their teams to look after their mental health. 

We have an exciting new plan for the next five years. 

We have four important aims: 

• We want to support people to live their best life. 

• We want people who work at SeeAbility to be supported to do their best. 

• We want people with disabilities to have more opportunities. 

• We want people with disabilities to speak out about what matters to them. 
   

We are really excited about the future!
