Monmouth Visually Impaired Club.

Aims

Our aim is to help those in our community with impaired vision to maintain a reasonable quality of life through companionship and by giving mental stimulus, practical help and encouraging much fun and laughter.

Strategy

We accomplish our aim by:

Providing a friendly social environment for members to share experiences and help each other cope with the effect of sight problems
Helping members acquire the vision aids they need to improve their quality of life
Providing transport to and from Club meetings and outings
Inviting organisations to help advance knowledge and understanding on matters relevant to members
Representing the visually impaired of Monmouth to the Town and County Councils on issues of concern to members
Provising a swap-shop for talking books and vision aids
Providing financial assistance, where appropriate, to members who qualify for vision aids that are not available through the Welsh Low Vision Service.

Meetings

We meet on the first Thursday of every month from 2.00 to 4.00pm at Wyesham Christian Fellowship where we often have invited speakers on topics of interest to club members. We also meet on the second Thursday of every month for lunch for which members pay. transport is provided to convey members to and from their home.

Funding

The funds needed for meeting venues, transport and bursaries are drawn from members' subscriptions, donations and fundraising events.
