Kent Association for the Blind is a registered charity providing rehabilitation services for children and adults with visual impairment to support them and help them live independent lives. Services are provided by six, specialist rehabilitation teams based in offices in Kent, Medway and Bromley. Additional specialist support is provided in Bexley. ==Origins==
The charity was founded in 1920 to provide registration and support services for soldiers whose vision had been damaged during the First World War. The UK Government’s ‘Blind Person’s Act’ of 1920 authorised Local Authorities to “promote the welfare of blind persons”.〔KAB First Annual Report, 1921〕 The primary responsibilities of the Association were “the compilation of a complete and up-to-date register of all blind persons in the County" and "the investigation of all cases needing help”.〔KAB First Annual Report, 1921〕 By March 1921, nine months after the Association was created, 902 people had been registered (the population of Kent in June 1921 was 1.6m〔http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/bicentenary/pdfs/kent.pdf)〕), and it had provided services for 70 individuals.〔KAB First Annual Report, 1921〕
