Home Visiting

Once a visually impaired person has made contact with the Society, a home visit can be arranged. After the initial visit by one of our visiting officers ongoing support and befriending is then offered by a team of volunteers.

The visits can be used for anything from offering advice on benefits and welfare rights, to demonstrating specialist equipment. Quite often the most valuable thing visitors can do for the more isolated members are to listen and to offer support. Visiting Officers remain in touch with members for as long as our services are needed.
