Our aim is to ensure people with sight loss in the county are able to lead active, independent and fulfilled lives.
Our aims are:
- To ensure all people with sight loss in our geographic area (and their family and friends) know where they can find support relevant to their personal situation.
- To provide a range of good quality, high impact services driven by the voice and needs of our clients.
- To build a strong and sustainable organisation which adds real value, can demonstrate its impact and has the confidence of the people and organisations we work with.
As a charity, we work across the county of Gloucestershire. We have a low vision resource centre in Cheltenham. We also regularly run local advice hubs and social groups in towns across the county where clients can access information, advice and guidance.
