Positive Outlook

Our two week Positive Outlook courses cover practical and emotional tips to help you manage any day to day challenges you may experience following a diagnosis of vision impairment. They also provide an opportunity to talk to other vision-impaired people and share hints, tips and experiences.

Our courses cover the following topics:

understanding different types of vision impairment
the registration process
daily living skills
helpful equipment
mobility tips
local activities
technology and apps to make life easier.

Courses are available across Scotland. They are currently delivered via telephone and Zoom. A family member or carer is welcome to attend with you.

Socialisation sessions for young people

Freedom and Joy provide group workshops for children and young people, split into age-appropriate groups for 10 to 17s and 18 to 25s.

The sessions focus on socialising and discuss some of the challenges vision-impaired young people face as well as identifying solutions.

These groups will be supportive and offer a unique environment to forge friendships, build confidence and empower the group to share new experiences.

These sessions generally take place at our Glasgow offices but are open to those who can travel.
