It is now named after William Wilding Galloway, a cotton merchant from Preston who left £40,000 to local charities including £10,000 to the society when he died in 1936.

[3] The charity now provides many services to over 7000 blind and visually impaired people across the county from its headquarters in Penwortham near Preston and its offices in Chorley, Morecambe and Southport.

Current titles include Lancashire Evening Post, Ormskirk Advertiser, Lancaster Guardian & Morecambe Visitor, Longridge News, Garstang Courier, Farmers Guardian, Methodist Recorder, The Catholic Voice, Salvation Army War Cry, and Asian Awaz in Urdu.

Galloways operates four Sight Advice Centres across Lancashire at Chorley, Preston, Southport and Morecambe from where a range of specialist equipment is available.

A regular fund-raising event is the annual walk across Morecambe Bay, which in 2017 had to be cancelled twice because Queen's Guide to the Sands Cedric Robinson could not find a safe route because of high water levels.
