Join Our New Virtual Hubs for Peer Support and Connection
Are you looking to connect with others who understand life with sight loss?
We’re excited to announce our new Virtual Hubs
Living with sight loss can feel isolating, but finding others who understand can make all the difference. That’s why we’re launching new virtual hubs, starting on 28th November, to help you connect with people who share similar experiences in a welcoming and supportive environment.
As a partnership of three sight loss charities – Sight Support West of England, Wiltshire Sight, and Insight Gloucestershire – our new hubs are open to people affected by sight loss across all of the areas we cover. Each group will meet regularly on Microsoft Teams and be facilitated by volunteers with lived experience of sight loss.
Upcoming Groups:
- Parent Support: For parents of visually impaired children up to age 25, starting 28th November, meeting fortnightly on Thursdays at 7:30 pm.
- University Students: For over-18s (studying at Level 4 or above), starting 15th January, meeting fortnightly on Wednesdays at 7pm.
- Working Age (25–65): Starting in January.
- Young Adults (18–30): Starting date to be confirmed.
To join, simply let us know which group interests you. Attendance is flexible – come when you can! Training is available if you’re new to Microsoft Teams. Our contact details are at the bottom of this webpage.
Once you’re signed up, there’s no need to book for each session, and you’re welcome to attend whenever you wish. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, share, learn, and build connections without pressure or obligation – all from the comfort of your home.
We’re also looking for volunteer facilitators for our Young Adults hubs – could this be you? Contact Becs at volunteering@sightsupportwest.org.uk.
Thank you to the Quartet Foundation for their support, which has made these hubs possible.
