information SERVICE DETAILS

Adapting to and learning to live with sight loss can be bewildering, and it can be challenging to know who to turn to in order to get the answers you need. Our team have got the answers. And if they don't, they know where to find them.

We will provide support and a listening ear on a wide range of topics which can include, but are not limited to:

- Changes to your home. Making your home a safer and easier place to live when your sight is changing is important; together with you we'll look at the changes that are right for you.
- Alternative ways of reading, accessing information and the formats which will work best for you.
- Registering as blind or partially sighted. Not sure if this would be useful to you? We can guide you on the benefits that registration opens.
