Peer Support Calls

Our Peer Support Service is here to help those who are newly diagnosed or have had recent, significant deterioration of their sight.

You may want to talk about your experience of sight loss or listen to someone else’s, or talk about how other people behave towards you, or the challenges you face at work. You could have concerns about your families’ or friends’ reactions and their worries. Talking to our Peer Support Volunteers (who have lived experience of sight loss) could help you navigate these challenges and assist you with things that are new; for example, reading, travel and conversations.

Unlike our Telephone Befriending service, Peer Support Calls will last for short period of time for each person who accesses the service. If further help is needed, we will guide you to other support available.
