1pm Have Your Say: Support for Working-Age Adults
Are we doing enough for blind and partially sighted working-age adults? Wiltshire Sight and our partner charities want to understand what support would make the biggest difference to you.
Join our session to share your experiences, discuss barriers, and explore ideas for future services. We’ll also look at how to reach those who aren’t currently using our support. Your insights will help shape our research and work in 2025 – get involved and have your say!
The exhibition is free.
Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
We really hope you can make it and we look forward to seeing you there!
