4Sight Vision Support, in partnership with Blind Veterans UK, is hosting a Sight Loss Awareness Day.

Sight Loss Awareness Day charity organisations

This drop-in event is free and is open to anyone of any age living with sight loss, their friends, families and carers, and presents an opportunity to find out more about the practical help and support available.

4SVS and Blind Veterans UK will be joined by a number of key organisations including the Blatchington Court Trust, the RNIB, Look UK, the Macular Society (Chichester Group), the Thomas Pocklington Trust and the WSCC ROVI Team (Rehabilitation Officers for the Visually Impaired). During the day, attendees will be able to talk to these organisations, understand what they do and find out how they can provide support. There is also an opportunity to learn about general good eye health and the chance to try out sim specs, which replicate a number of sight loss conditions, in order to promote awareness of visual impairment.
