Goal setting
We'll work with you to set goals to help move you forward, and we'll help you to achieve them, no matter how big or small.
Signposting
We work with other organisations to help you maximise your independence and access the opportunities and support that you need.
Keeping you connected
We understand the impact that sight loss can have on your confidence, and know that this can often result in social isolation.
We arrange social events and activities to bring you together with your fellow blind veterans who live locally for companionship and camaraderie.
These may include coffee mornings, day trips, group telephone calls and events. We’ll let you know about what's happening in your local area.
Staying in touch
We're always easily reachable when you need us.
