Services Provided
Ceredigion Association provide some
grants to
visually impaired people. To be eligible you must have serious and uncorrectable visual impairments, and have been referred to the Association by the
Rehabilitation Officer in Ceredigion Social Services.
Blind and partially sighted people who live alone or in isolated areas get a friendly call on a regular basis from volunteers who are themselves blind or partially sighted. Callers can also pick up any needs which may arise. They may be able to provide relevant information or can refer cases to social services.
Our IT service provides
advice, one-to-one
training, short term equipment loan, and some financial support towards purchasing equipment. The service is completely free and we do not sell equipment, we just advise and support. Try before you buy: if you want to try before you buy, we can offer the loan of phones and tablets for 2 weeks. This would help you decide on the type of
technology that meets your requirements and skills. We have an iPad and iPhone as well as an
Android Synapptic tablet and phone.
