Who we are

New Outlook has been providing services to visually impaired people for over 160 years. Starting out in 1846 as the Birmingham Royal Institute for the blind (BRIB), we became a standalone housing association in 1997.

Since then, we have gone through several changes to become what we are today – a professional, reliable and committed provider that strives to promote personalised services which support independent living for people with sensory or specialist needs.
