  1. About us

Our mission, vision, and values

Cam Sight is a Cambridgeshire charity that supports local people of all ages living with low vision and blindness to live the lives they choose. We work to enhance independence, improve well-being, and improve inclusion.

Our vision

A world of equality, in which people of all ages whom are blind or have low vision achieve the possibilities they choose in life.

Our values

At Cam Sight, we strive for a world of equality, in which people of all ages who have low vision and blindness achieve the possibilities they choose in life. In this mission, we aim to uphold the following values in all that we do:

Person-centred

Our beneficiaries are at the heart of everything we do at Cam Sight. We see individuals as whole people, not defined by one element of their lives. Our work is holistic in approach. All are welcome at Cam Sight.

Empowering

We enable everyone to be able to reach their full potential. We provide the tools, information, and advice to allow people to live the lives they choose. We do not prescribe or dictate terms, we empower decision and action. We invest in our staff and volunteers to meet their aspirations and those of Cam Sight.

Friendly

We are caring and empathetic to all we work with. We are a friendly voice at the end of a telephone call or a friendly face to chat with over a cup of tea. We are responsive in our communication and in our work. We create a positive, professional environment in which to work.

Collaborative

We work well together and with others. We are flexible and adaptable in our approach, looking to build our partnerships and networks for the benefit of our beneficiaries.

Accountable

We are accountable to each other and to our beneficiaries. We monitor and report our impact, our finances, our progress, and our plans in an open and honest way. We build trust through transparency. We welcome feedback and we work to improve.
