If you need someone who understands sight loss, we're here for you. Our free and informal Living Well with Sight Loss courses aim to help you increase your independence, boost your confidence and connect with others to share experiences.
Through our sessions, you'll receive practical advice, information and guidance on organisations, products and services that are available to help you. You'll also have the chance to learn from each other's personal experiences and share top tips.
Living Well with Sight Loss courses are for adults of all ages, including friends, family members and anyone who is close to you. Each course includes information and advice on a variety of topics, including:
Our Living Well with Sight Loss courses were previously called Living with Sight Loss courses. We've updated the name to better reflect a positive outlook and a focus on wellbeing.
Everybody looked a bit nervous, but we soon got to know each other and then went on to learn lots of different ways on how to cope with sight loss. It's definitely the best thing I've ever done. - Hazel Kelly
You can join a course either by phone or group video call. Once it's safe to do so, we'll resume our face-to-face courses across the UK.
Our phone groups are six one-hour long sessions, which take place over six consecutive weeks.
Our video calls are six sessions, up to 90 minutes each, which take place over six consecutive weeks.
Our face-to-face courses are either one or two full days. Two-day courses may take place over consecutive days or across consecutive weeks.
We're working with some local sight loss charities to deliver more courses and increase attendance opportunities. We'll let you know if a course in your local area is being delivered by a local sight loss organisation.
We run courses throughout the year and across the UK. To take a look at upcoming courses and to book, please visit our Course Calendar.

Our Helpline is your direct line to the support, advice, and products you need to face the future with confidence. If you or someone you know has an eye condition, our sight loss advisers can help.
