Join us and make a dark day brighter.


An inspirational symbol of hope, the Tree of Light is a unique opportunity to do something truly remarkable each & every Christmas, giving the gift of independence, belief and freedom to thousands of people who are blind or vision impaired in Ireland.

How does it work?

During the month of December companies and individuals are invited to help NCBI make a dream come true, donate now and keep the tree bright for Christmas.

These donations support vital services such as assistive technology, educational support, independent living skills and peer support for thousands of people living with sight loss.

Your donations will change lives

We can support more people like Josh with your help.

Josh was diagnosed with albinism when he was 4 days old and has less than 10% vision. Now, aged 9 he is a bright happy young boy who loves draw pictures of his favourite movie characters.

It was a very anxious time for us.
NCBI were a great support network and were able to put our minds at ease. We are grareful for all of the support that the staff continue to give us.
Josh is thriving and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for him. final quote
