- Emotional wellbeing
- Practical skills for everyday life
- Maximising your remaining visio
- Assistive technology
- Lighting and colour contrast
- Keeping safe when out and about
You will be part of a small, supportive group of people who understand and can share experiences. There will be an opportunity to find out about more about Vista’s services, including specialist training and support available to you.
