Hi Patrick Hurley I would like to meet to discuss some of the issues affecting #Blind & #PartiallySighted people in the #Southport area. How do I make an appointment? I can’t seem to find any details online. Thank you

E-scooters ‘can’ be hazardous for #Blind & #PartiallySighted people. Yesterday Merseyside Sight Loss Council met with staff from Voi UK to take them on a sim spec walk round #Liverpool so they could experience first-hand the difficulties that badly parked scooters pose

Navigating a hospital or health setting can be a real challenge when you’re #Blind or #PartiallySighted So today Merseyside Sight Loss Councils delivered a Vision Awareness session to ‘meet & greet’ staff and volunteers at Aintree Hospital Liverpool University Hospitals NHS FT to help overcome this.

The dedicated start for #Blind runners at #GreatNorthRun2024 is amazing! This head start meant that we pretty much had the road to ourselves for a little while. And the support from spectators (even in the pouring rain) was absolutely brilliant. Thank you #Newcastle 👏💕

Getting out for a walk & being around #wildlife is so good for everyone’s mental health and well-being But how easy & accessible is it to do this, if you’re #Blind or #PartiallySighted? That’s what #Lancashire Sight Loss Councils went to check out WWT Martin Mere today 🦆
