Henshaws is a specialist charity providing expert support, advice and training to anyone affected by sight loss. We also work with people with other disabilities, and because sight loss and disability affects family, friends and colleagues, we work with them too.

Henshaws is one of the oldest charities in the UK, opening in Manchester in 1837. Throughout our 175 year history we’ve built a reputation for trust and expertise. We now work throughout the north of England, with centres and communities in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Manchester, Merseyside and Newcastle. We help hundreds of visually impaired and disabled people each year to develop the skills and independence they need to lead lives that are as full and independent as possible.


Henshaws College in Harrogate is our independent specialist college for students aged 16-25. The College supports students with learning difficulties and physical disabilities, with a specialism in visual impairment.

The College mission is to empower students with skills and confidence to maximise their independence and employability, minimise the effects of their disability and achieve success through their transition to adult life. We treat everyone with dignity and respect, celebrating all contributions and achievements and striving to improve our service through change and innovation.
