CAN WE HELP YOU? |
|
|
We make no charge for membership. Membership of the Society is not restricted to those who have been registered as sight impaired or severely sight impaired. We will welcome all those who have a registerable eye condition and will be glad to provide advice and support to anyone who is concerned about their vision. Through membership of the Society we will encourage the development of independence, providing opportunities for people to feel less isolated and more confident. |
|
|
If you know of anyone who has a visual impairment and might not be aware of our services, please pass on our details or contact us directly. We will be pleased to talk to anyone who would like further information. |
|
| As an independent local charity, we rely on donations, legacies and fund-raising to cover the cost of providing the services we offer to our members. Gift Aid donations are especially helpful because we are also able to claim back income tax, thereby significantly increasing the value of your gift. | |
