The team at Somerset Sight provides support at the point of a sight loss diagnosis and beyond. There are estimated to be 19,000 people living with a visual impairment in the county. At least one in five of those people never leave their home alone.
The charity reaches out to visually-impaired people across the county with a range of services and activities. The aim is to provide services, training and leisure activities that will help maintain independence and improve the quality of life for anyone who is affected by sight loss.
