We are trying to get those who are isolating themselves, due to sight loss, to come out, get some fresh air, feel safe & to do activities that will keep them healthy, as well as give them confidence. So many of our members feel safer in their own homes & think that losing their sight is the end of the world. But we would like to change this & encourage them to do things that any full sighted person is able to do & sometimes better. Mental health & well being is very important to us.

Exercise & group activities have been proven to help with depression & state of mind. It also helps to with weight problems, as some visually impaired & blind people tend to move less with their sight loss. It will also help them to build new friendships & speak to people that are going through the same problems. Group activities are sometimes better than medication & counselling, as it builds confidence.
