Do you need one to one support?
There may be times when you need extra support to help you understand or cope with your sight loss. We offer a variety of services to help you keep your independence and to ensure you never feel alone.
Advice and Information service
Free information and support to those with macular disease, along with their family and friends, to help people retain their independence.
Telephone befriending
If you feel isolated, our telephone befrienders can provide a regular friendly phone call. You can talk about living with macular disease, or not - the conversation is guided by you.
Telephone counselling
We have a team of qualified counsellors offering counselling to anyone who has been diagnosed with macular disease, and their family members.
Mentoring
The Macular Society provides mentors who can support people through their own personal experiences of macular disease.
Treatment buddies
We can put you in touch with someone who’s had treatment for macular disease, to answer your questions and put your mind at rest.
