Independent Living Flat: work is underway!

We’re very excited to announce that work is underway on our brand new independent living flat!

The one-bed flat is being built on the ground floor of our head office in Glasgow. Our experienced staff will use the flat to teach everyday household skills to people with sight loss. In particular young people will be able to develop the skills and confidence to be independent as they make the move from living at home to living alone. The flat is being designed to replicate student accommodation and will include the latest in cutting-edge accessible household appliances. The skills training will be available to anyone who can travel to our Glasgow office.

We’ll be sharing regular progress updates on Twitter and Facebook as work on the flat continues.

We need your help to support this project! We’re planning a crowdfunding campaign to raise money towards building and furnishing the flat. If you’d like to get involved please let us know. We’ll be sharing details of the campaign shortly!
