Our aim is to reduce the social isolation and exclusion of those with sight loss, while increasing the skills and confidence of community organisations and providing them with an understanding of sight loss awareness.

We will use the skills and knowledge of our members with sight loss to identify activities and experiences they would like to access.

The project focuses on four main areas:

• Sports, health and wellbeing
• Arts, crafts and humanities
• Accessing information and communication technology
• Children and young people’s activities

Are you someone living with sight loss?

If so, why not get in touch if there is a sport or activity you would like to try or if you would like to learn more about using accessible technology.
