Who are Torch Trust?

The Norwich Torch Fellowship Group is one of 130 groups that meet regularly in the UK and who share a commitment to the guiding principles set down by the Torch
Trust for the Blind, the UK based non-denominational Christian charity.

The Torch Trust for the Blind aims to overcome sight loss as a barrier to finding a personal faith in Christ and living a fulfilled Christian life. Torch produces a wide range of Christian literature in accessible media (Braille, giant print, audio and the latest electronic formats) and operates a postal library service with over 2,000 titles covering theological, devotional, missionary, biographical and Christian leisure reading from its headquarters in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

Started in the UK, Torch now provides material in other languages, promotes Christian fellowship among visually impaired people throughout the world and also targets practical personal support to blind people in some poorer countries.
