Organisation Info

Hambleton
Richmondshire

Staffed by people with sight loss, our confidential line offers practical and emotional support to those with sight loss, their family, friends and professionals. Our helpline is open 6pm – 10pm, 365 days a year.

We are a charity based in the north-west of England offering a FREE telephone-based befriending service designed to reduce loneliness and isolation for anyone living with a visual impairment.

Regular phone-based befriending can be arranged at a convenient time for you. Our service is staffed by a team of dedicated, friendly, trained volunteers, who have close experience of sight loss.

They can provide much needed support and friendship. Many of our service users and volunteers are benefiting from the positive impact a telephone befriending relationship can offer.
