You can help build a connected community by sharing your particular skills and enthusiasm to reach and inspire other people with sight loss.

You will give encouragement, exchange knowledge and information, reach out and connect to those who are isolated, create enjoyable opportunities that will help us grow in confidence and build public awareness of what it’s like living with little or no sight.

You can choose what you want to do, how much time you want to give and focus on the things you enjoy doing whether in your local area, wider region or even nationally.
