Support 4 Sight

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. From our bases in both Saffron Walden and Chelmsford, we can offer dedicated resource centres fully stocked with specialised equipment to enable independent living opportunities for our service users. Callers can try out all manner of equipment to ensure it is exactly the right thing for their situation before purchasing. All are welcome preferably to see us by appointment, or drop in for support, to obtain information, advice, training, IT tuition or to trial our low vision equipment. Support 4 Sight have Eye Clinic Liaison Officers (ECLOs), who work closely with medical and nursing staff in hospital eye clinics, and the sensory team in social services. They provide those recently diagnosed with an eye condition, the practical and emotional support which they need to understand their diagnosis, deal with their sight loss and maintain their independence.
