Henshaws Society for Blind People

Henshaws Society for Blind People (founded in 1837 by an Oldham businessman named Thomas Henshaw) is a specialist charity providing support, advice and training to anyone affected by sight loss and other disabilities.

The charity has changed names four times. In 1921, it was 'Henshaw's Institution for the Blind'. In January 1971, it changed its former name to 'Henshaw's Society for the Blind'. Finally in 2000, it was renamed as the 'Henshaws Society for Blind People.' In 2016, the charity shortened its name to simply 'Henshaws', introducing the strap line 'Beyond Expectations'. In the same year, it also changed its logo and branding to bright pink.
