'Living with Sight Loss' courses in Powys

RNIB are running two free, 2 day information courses in Powys:

• South Powys at The Guildhall, Brecon LD3 7AL on Wednesday 25 April and Wednesday 2 May 2018 from 10.30am – 3.30pm
• Mid Powys at the Radnorshire Museum, Temple Street, Llandrindod Wells LD1 5DL on Tuesday 5 June & Wednesday 6 June 2018 from 10.30am – 3.30pm

The courses enable those affected by sight loss either directly or indirectly to share experiences with others in similar situations and find out about national and local services. They also aim to help people affected by sight loss adjust to their sight condition, increase independence, boost confidence and be aware of and able to access ongoing support.

There will be talks from a number of service providers and a range of information on services and practical solutions will be discussed including:

• Welfare rights
• Getting out and about
• Tips and gadgets for everyday living
• Assistive technology – including tablets and phones
• Eye health
• Wellbeing

This will be a very relaxed and welcoming event so please come along and bring a friend. Tea & coffee will be provided.
