Support 4 Sight

Support 4 Sight supports people with a visual impairment through advice and guidance sessions, outings, and social events for them, their carers and families in Mid & West Essex.

The organisation aims to support, empower, and inspire people affected by sight loss through delivering services including signposting to support services, demonstrations of assistive technology, home and telephone check-ins, providing emotional support in hospitals after diagnosis, as well as organising social group outings and short breaks. 

A grant has enabled them to expand their social and well-being activities throughout the week including craft, book, games, exercise, technology and awareness classes. Socialising in a safe and familiar space helps people meet new friends and try new things.
