Sight loss advice offered to all at Aviemore tomorrow at major event
Blind and partially sighted residents near Aviemore will be able to receive in-person support tomorrow (Thursday) at an upcoming local event with a leading sight loss charity.
RNIB Scotland will be speaking to visitors and offering support at a ‘Living With Sight Loss’ Information Day at the Cairngorm Hotel from 11am – 3pm.
In collaboration with Blindcraft Highland Sensory Services, and other services, the free drop-in event will highlight a range of local support where blind and partially sighted residents, friends and family members can come to ask questions and receive support.
Visitors also will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with accessible products and technology such as magnifiers, that help make everyday activities easier.
RNIB Scotland Project Support Officer Ian White adds: “We’re looking forward to meeting blind and partially sighted people in Aviemore and to provide more information about support in their area.
“Everyone is welcome to come along, whether you’ve engaged with services before, you are new to sight loss and seeking support, or perhaps you’re a family member or friend. We’d like to ensure every person with sight loss in Scotland has access to the support they need.”
