Our summer Social and Leisure Activities programme is well underway with walks and cream teas enjoyed by all! The updated programme can be found below. Some activities are already fully booked so if you are interested in coming along please get in touch as soon as possible to book your place.
Activities vary from gentle activity such as walks, to cultural activities such as theatre trips, to historical activities such as a tour of St Mary and All Saints Church, home of the famous crooked spire, and of course plenty of opportunities for refreshments!
If you or someone you know is affected by sight loss and would like the opportunity to get out of the house and spend some time with other people living with similar daily challenges please do get in touch with us – we would love to hear from you. New members are always welcome and you don’t have to come to every event – you can pick and choose those events that are suitable for you. We know that living with sight loss can be challenging at times and people tell us they sometimes feel lonely and isolated. Our activity programme aims to give you the opportunity to visit new places and meet new people.
To find out more or to book one of the activities please email enquiries@sightsupportderbyshire.org.uk or phone 01332 292262 and ask for Victoria.
