Local support groups

Our groups offer a warm, supportive space for people with macular disease, their families and friends. They’re a welcoming and compassionate place a find support, build confidence and connect with others. And, of course, it’s a chance to make new friends who really understand what sight loss is like.

Before attending any group for the first time, please call our volunteer and group support team on 01264 560 259. They’ll be able to confirm that your group is meeting in person or by telephone.
