Sightline Vision (North West) Limited is a British charity founded by Mrs. Eileen Green in 2000, to provide helpline support for the visually-impaired, with a particular focus on individuals recently diagnosed with deteriorating or complete loss-of-sight. As of 2013, Sightline has received a £190,000 Big Lottery grant (spread over 3 years and contingent upon raising matching funds). Sightline's primary focus is to fill the gap of providing necessary support and guidance to individuals who are often left not knowing where to turn when suddenly faced with the prospect of losing their sight. Sightline Vision (North West) Limited operates out of a small office in Crosby, Liverpool. What makes Sightline Vision (North West) Limited uniquely qualified and exceptionally effective in providing support is that all the Helpline volunteers are themselves visually-impaired (some completely blind) and so able to provide vital empathetic support to help callers through what is often a deeply emotional time.
