Emotional support

We know that living with sight loss can be very isolating at times, even more so when other people around you are keeping you safe by keeping their distance and staying at home.

Telephone befriending

Whilst the Sight Centre is closed to the public our staff are continuing to provide lots of support services over the phone and anyone who would like support during this time is encouraged to call us. We are also introducing a telephone befriending service for anyone who wants to speak to someone regularly for a friendly chat. To find out more please call us on 01872 261110 or email info@isightcornwall.org.uk.
