Events and Exhibitions

We run events across the West of England to connect people and help them find solutions to the challenges faced when living with sight loss

Eye Can

In early 2022, we hosted our first Eye Can exhibition in Bristol. Since then, we’ve held these events every six months in key locations across the region, including Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Salisbury, and Gloucestershire. These locations were chosen to be accessible to as many of our service users as possible. While we understand that attending might involve some travel, we aim to ensure that each exhibition provides enough value to make the journey worthwhile.

Our exhibitions are designed to support individuals living with sight loss by showcasing the latest technology and services that can make everyday life easier. At these events, you’ll find a wide range of innovative solutions, from digital magnifiers and text-to-speech readers to navigation apps and everyday living aids. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about national and local services that can assist you. Our exhibitors cover a variety of interests, including technology, sports and leisure, work and employment, health and wellbeing, as well as support for children, young people, and families.

Additionally, each exhibition features a diverse speaker program. This includes Q&A sessions with sight loss experts, presentations on topics of interest, and even taster sessions like Pilates and chair-based fitness. Finally, our Eye Can exhibitions offer a welcoming space to connect with new friends and reconnect with familiar faces.
