We aim to enable people with sight loss to live
full and independent lives within the community.
We have an arrangement with
Woodspring Association for Blind
People to provide a range of specialist services at its
resource centre in Weston-super-Mare.
The centre has a wide range of aids and equipment for
demonstration - from talking watches to large button telephones -
and its staff can provide information on all topics relating to
sight loss.
Its Rehabilitation Officer can help you improve or learn new
skills to enable you to be as independent as possible including
guidance on mobility training, daily living skill and Braille and
Moon communication.
The centre is at 3 Neva Road and is open from Monday to Friday
between 10am and 1pm.
Anybody with a visual impairment can use the services offered by
the Woodspring Association and it can put you in touch with any
appropriate agencies you require.
If you are unable to visit the centre a Special Needs Advisor can
visit you at home to give you advice and information on your
day-to-day needs.
They can also provide you with basic equipment.
We can provide information in different formats on request such as
large print, Braille, audiotape or computer disc.
You should contact our Public Information Officer
Elly Smith via
email or on 01275 882 181 if you require information in other
formats.

partially-sighted people visit the
