RESOURCE CENTRES
Our resource centres around the county provide a focal point for visually impaired people and their carers to visit.
The Resource Centres display a wide range of equipment designed to meet the needs of visually impaired people. Here they have an opportunity to try some of the aids available to them. For the more technical equipment we do prefer people to make an appointment so that a member of staff can be on hand to advise and demonstrate.
Friends and relatives often call into the Resource Centres in order to buy useful birthday or Christmas gifts.
Information is available on a wide range of subjects, including eye conditions; talking newspapers and books; Social Services; RNIB; Guide Dogs for the Blind and many other services and agencies.
Suppliers demonstrate their specialist equipment at events which are open to all. These are advertised in our bi-monthly Bulletin.
