Support Groups

Opensight is here to support you, and our dedicated team are ready to help.

We offer a friendly and knowledgeable ear on a wide range of matters, regardless of whether you or someone within your family lives with a vision impairment. Whether you need advice, information or just want to meet with others socially we have something for you.

Active Age Groups

Following a diagnosis of sight loss, people of working age may face unique challenges as they adapt to new ways of living and working. Navigating this transition can bring a mix of emotions, but with the right support, independence and confidence can thrive.

Our groups create a space for connection, idea-sharing, and new opportunities. Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to support and inspire each other.

From sharing tech tips to planning activities and exploring local events and services, our groups are all about enabling individuals to live life on their own terms.
