Outlookers is the new name for Kirklees Visual Impairment Network (KVIN) and the Society for the Blind of Dewsbury, Batley & District. We are going through a process of rebranding which may mean that you see previous charity names. Be reassured that we are the same organisation and will continue to operate to benefit our community of Visually Impaired people.
