The Mobile Resource Centre was set up to deliver eye health information and demonstrate low vision aids and equipment to visually impaired people, their family and to interested members of the public. We travel to specific locations around the county, such as retirement villages, health care centres, libraries, garden centres or local social groups and coffee mornings. We usually visit for a few hours in a morning or afternoon. Our aim is to help people by advising them what support is available, and to promote good eye health.
Our volunteers benefit from becoming more knowledgeable about support for visually impaired people and having the opportunity to go out into the community and make a big difference.
