WE are Blind Society members trying to improve our services to visually impaired people.
With this in mind, we are starting a new service in the local hospital eye clinics.
We are recruiting volunteers to place them in the Eye Departments with a view to providing information for visually impaired people.
Volunteers will be selected to give help to direct people to other services available to them.
Training and ongoing support will be provided.
