Henshaws - Living Well with Sight Loss

4 Oct 2021 - 11:36 by victoria.jones

‘Living Well with Sight Loss’ is a four week course ran by Joshua who is an enablement officer at Henshaws. The course helps participants to understand what services are available to them both locally and nationally but as Joshua explains, ‘the biggest part of the course is for our participants to be able to connect with other people with sight loss and to learn from each other’. He adds ‘the peer support of the network is invaluable to people. Quite often our participants have never spoken to another person with a visual impairment so connecting them through the group is massive for them.
