If you are newly diagnosed, feel nervous about navigating the world at the moment, or just feel that now is the right time for you to start getting out and about more, this two-day, face-to-face course is for you!
This free, informal course focuses on:
"Out and about" - mobility, transport and concessions
"In the home" - daily living skills and technology
"Starting out" - CVI process and main eye care services
"Looking after ourselves" - eye health, wellbeing, leisure, and next steps
A recent course attendee said:
"Very informative, very lovely. It gave me great clarity of what was involved in the sight loss journey and what was available."
Living Well with Sight Loss is a partnership between RNIB and WDSA, made possible with the kind support of Wakefield Council. Day one takes place on Monday 29th September, and day two is on Thursday 2nd October.
Access to Lightwaves is step free. Places are limited so please contact the office on 01924 215555 and we will be happy to give you further information and book your place.
