If you are adjusting to life with sight loss, our free Moving Forward Course could help you gain confidence and practical skills for everyday life. Taking place over three online sessions in May, this course is designed to support you with essential advice, accessible technology, and ways to stay active and independent.

Each session is delivered by our experienced team – senior sight loss advisor, rehabilitation officer and technology project coordinator, and provides an opportunity to ask questions and learn from others.
