These reports give you a flavour of the main areas of the work of the Society. Whilst we have continued to perform well, there is still much we would like to achieve. We have made little progress regarding the acquisition of new premises or finding a replacement for our Volunteer Fundraiser. We do still believe that visually impaired people in York would benefit from the establishment of a 'Centre' and appeal to anyone who has the ability to help us achieve this to contact us. Everyone in York who is registered as blind or partially sighted is an automatic member of the Society unless they choose not to be.
Membership is free.
An Executive Committee, the majority of whom are visually impaired, governs the Society. The committee is elected each year at the Annual General meeting. The Society employs 6 members of staff. The financial statements included in his report summarise information extracted from the full annual accounts. The full annual accounts and auditors report and the report of the Trustees can be obtained from the Hon Treasurer of York Blind and Partially Sighted Society.
