We’re proud to support children, young people, and their families on their sight loss journey. We offer advice and guidance in the following areas:

Social Support

Emotional Help 

Finding out you or a relative has a vision impairment often comes as a huge shock. You are not alone. You can chat with someone who understands the emotions you’re feeling. We’re here to listen to you and all your family either on the phone or face to face. Why not join our Facebook group and have a supportive community at your fingertips?
