Southend In Sight

They offer advice covering a wide range of issues and give support on how to use specialist equipment to help people remain independent in their own homes. They also host a signposting service at Southend Hospital for people who have been newly diagnosed.

Their telephone befriending scheme is hosted alongside organised social activities, which enables people with sight loss to enjoy some free time in a supported environment and to reduce their general isolation.

A grant from us supported their running costs to enable them to maintain and extend their services.
