If you are blind or visually impaired, then Somerset Sight can help you. We are a local and independent charity and have been in operation for over 90 years. Although we are based in Taunton, we cover the whole of Somerset. We support visually impaired people of all ages, helping them continue to lead a full and independent life. At our centre in Taunton we have a Resource and Rehabilitation Centre where we provide a wide range of equipment for visually impaired people and specialist advice. We also have a Mobile Resource Unit which visits towns and villages across the county ensuring more people in this rural area can access our services. Many visually impaired people feel intensely lonely and isolated. Loss of independence and social exclusion often follow a diagnosis of sight loss. To counteract these problems, Somerset Sight provides volunteer visitors and arranges social afternoons to enable visually impaired people to get out and about in their communities and meet other people. If you or someone you know has a visual impairment or if you are a carer for a visually impaired person, the people at Somerset Sight are able to provide help and practical advice.
