Moving Forward with Sight Loss In Person Course Day 2
Thursday 26th October 2023 10:00am - 3:30pm
Salisbury Library, Market Walk, Salisbury SP1 1BL

Being diagnosed with any form of sight loss at any age can be a scary and daunting time for anyone. We have developed the Moving Forward course to help you navigate the challenges you might face.

These sessions are aimed at people who are blind, sight impaired, or family and friends of those who are. The focus will be on sharing information to best inform you of the support, equipment and advice that is available. Along the way you will discover ways of managing potential problems and hopefully be inspired to go on and achieve everything you wish to.

This is the second day of the Moving Forward Course taking place in Salisbury. The sessions will take place in person at Salisbury Library and will cover a series of topics relating to all aspects of being blind or sight impaired. Each session will last 1hour and they will be fully interactive.
