Support 4 Sight assists people with sight loss, their carers and families.
Expert staff and trained volunteers provide our services to assist people coming to terms with losing their sight and to cope long term with the social, emotional and practical issues that they face living with sight loss.
Support 4 Sight began life as Saffron Sight in 1994, supporting blind and partially sighted people in Saffron Walden. We have now expanded to cover the whole of mid and west Essex.
The support we offer assists people to live safely and independently at home. It includes how to cope with initial sight loss diagnoses, information on health issues, eccentric viewing (use of peripheral sight), advice on daily living skills, technology training, befriending, employment support, benefits advice, lighting and assistive equipment. We also offer a full range of social trips and events.
We offer demonstrations of specialised technology and low vision equipment to enable independent living. All manner of equipment can be tried before purchasing to ensure it is exactly the right thing. Please come along to one of our Sight Hubs or exhibitions, or, if you are unable to get to these, give us a call to arrange a home visit.
