Micro-Grant Report: Partially Sighted Society (2017)

Report - 6 December 2017

‘A cuppa with…’ - these sessions were aimed at health and social care providers to share information about that service and answer the questions of the visually impaired participants

Conclusion

  • It is an extra information service for our customers which has been welcomed by our regulars.
  • We had held several other sessions before we received the Healthwatch Micro Grant which were well received and we will continue them beyond the next sessions funded with the micro grant and continue the volunteer role.
  • These sessions make a massive difference to people’s lives. They come to the ones that apply to them and feel able to ask the questions they have.
  • The majority of the users already know our premises and the staff/volunteers so are comfortable in building.
