Group activity or additional support for a solo activity for blind and partially sighted adults.
The Be Active Service matches trained and dedicated volunteers with blind and partially sighted adults. This partnership enables visually impaired people to get out and about and to participate in a wide range of community activities, either as a one-off
partnership or as an ongoing, regular group activity. Examples include personal shopping, museum and art exhibitions, social and recreational events and arts and crafts workshops to name a few.
