About us

Who we are

Blatchington Court Trust supports and empowers children and young adults with sight loss (from birth to 30 years old) and their families across Sussex. Our services – from education advocacy to family support, assistive technology, counselling, and social and educational events – focus on removing barriers and building confidence. Although established as a Trust in 1985, our roots go back to the 1800s, when William Moon founded a school for blind boys at Blatchington Court in Brighton. Today, we continue to provide life‑changing support and work alongside young people and their families to create lasting, positive change.
