Welcome...
to the website of the St. John’s Guild. The
Guild was founded in 1919 through the initiative of Miss Dorothy
Light and the Rev. Christian Waudby, a blind Anglican priest who
was concerned at the isolation and loneliness in which so many
blind people lived.
Today, the Guild supports over 20 Member Branches throughout
England, has its own registered Care Home in St. Albans.
The Guild publishes a newsletter and magazine in Braille, on
audiotape, and in large print.
Local Branches give visually impaired and blind people the
opportunity to meet friends on a regular basis for spiritual
fellowship and worship. Each branch undertakes its own programme,
which reflects the needs and interests of its members.
A residential home in St Albans is administered by the Guild,
giving care to retired visually impaired and blind people.
We also offer Training Courses designed to give people the
skills to continue to live independently, and training leading
to nationally recognised qualifications in deafblind awareness
and communication skills.
Retreats and Holidays are also organised by St. John’s Guild as
well as an annual holiday pilgrimage to Walsingham, Norfolk.
