When someone close to you is diagnosed with blindness or low vision, it can be really hard to know what to do or where to start when it comes to supporting them. You want to be there for them, but where do you even begin?
That’s why we’ve created our new guide, ‘Where to start when you are supporting someone who is blind or has low vision’. It’s a simple, practical resource written to make you feel more confident and informed.
Whether you’re wondering how to offer help without overstepping, or how to safely guide someone in daily situations, this guide has you covered. You'll find easy tips on communication, mealtimes, home safety, and even how to orient someone to a new space.
Every small gesture matters and sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is just ask someone if they want some help.
