North Wales VI Voices groups - 2023 Schedule

Vision Support has relaunched its VI Voices campaigning groups in North Wales. The groups are for people living with a vision impairment who want to not only raise awareness about the barriers facing people with a vision impairment but also make a difference in their local communities. Each group will campaign on issues that are important to them, with the aim of making changes within their local community.

The three groups are based in Denbighshire, Wrexham and Flintshire, and will offer:

  • Peer support: meeting other people living with a vision impairment in your community
  • Learning opportunities: learning leadership skills, digital skills, communication skills and campaigning skills
  • Increased confidence
They aim to make a difference but have a lot of fun along the way! The schedule of meetings for 2023 has been published.
