Eye Clinic
Our Eye Clinic Liaison Officers at York, Scarborough and Bridlington Hospitals are there to ensure that high quality emotional support is available when you need it most.
Home Visiting
The Home Visiting Service provides free, one-to-one support and friendship to people living with sight loss. Our volunteers can visit in your own home or support you to get out and about. The service has obtained Approved Provider Standard, the national quality standard designed specifically for mentoring and befriending projects.
Counselling
Changes in your eyesight can sometimes be difficult to manage. Counselling is an opportunity to talk openly about how you feel in a confidential and supportive environment.
Accessibility Technology
There is a wealth of accessible technology available to help you maintain your independence and live life as you want to. We can help you find out more about how technology can work for you.
