Our Services
Visiting People in their Homes
Our visiting service provides blind and partially sighted people with
friendly, social contact in the comfort of their own homes. As well
as providing company and conversation our visitors offer the following
support:
- Assistance with reading correspondence and, occasionally, writing letters
- Loans of audio equipment arranged through the British Wireless for the Blind Fund.
- Where to get help to claim benefits
» MSB welfare rights - Information about local social groups, news and events
- Making contact with statutory services, for example making a doctor's appointment.
Over 600 people receive regular visits – roughly every fortnight from our staff team.
Picture and quotes from visitors and those visited – work in progress.
If you know someone who would like to receive regular visits please » contact us.
Volunteers
A small group of enthusiastic and reliable volunteers complement our
full-time staff visitors. If you are able to make a regular commitment
of at least 1 hour every two weeks and would like to offer company and
friendship to a blind or partially sighted person, we would like to
hear from you. To find a more detailed description of what's involved,
and a short application form, follow this link, » how to help us.
