The whole purpose

Being seen is only the beginning.

Safety matters. So does the freedom to choose. So does the confidence to try. And so does the chance to belong. FRST brings these parts of everyday inclusion together.

01

Everyday safety

Practical support that helps people be recognised and approached with respect, including distinctive reflective jackets and raincoats.

02

Participation and confidence

Backing opportunities to learn, play and take part, working with community partners and respecting people’s interests and choices.

03

Understanding and inclusion

Changing how the world sees blindness by celebrating achievement, challenging misconceptions and bringing everyday barriers into focus.

The mission, in real life

Different moments. A shared purpose.

From practical safety to learning, sport, care and community, FRST’s beneficiary support is completely free for blind and visually impaired people.

Everyday recognition

A practical signal. A respectful response.

We created distinctive FRST Blue reflective jackets and safety raincoats with an inclusive symbol. They give sighted people a cue to recognise the wearer, communicate clearly and ask before helping. All FRST beneficiary support, including this gear, is completely free for blind and visually impaired people.

The gear supports recognition. It does not replace a cane, mobility skills or the wearer’s own decisions.
