CBM UK - The Overseas Disability Charity

CBM works in the world’s poorest places to prevent blindness, improve health and transform the lives of people with disabilities, their families and communities .

For more than 110 years, since our founder Ernst Christoffel started working with children with disabilities in Turkey and Iran, we’ve been reaching out to those whom others leave behind.

Driven by Christian values, CBM UK is fighting to end the cycle of poverty and disability. We work with disabled people to break down barriers by delivering practical support, improving policy and practice and inspiring the people of the UK to act.
