We support in many different ways though services, visits, information, guidance, advocacy and support. Our aims are to enable people to:

Winter's reduced daylight can be especially challenging for people with sight loss, affecting visibility and increasing isolation. Being visible and using a symbol cane is just one of the ways that you can help others to see you allowing you to navigate safely.

• Symbol cane – a symbol cane can help alert other people to your sight and/or hearing loss, and can be folded for easy storage. Please note that symbol canes cannot be used as a walking stick or support aid, or to detect obstacles on the ground.

If you would like some support with staying safe in the winter then get in touch with us on 01243 828555 or email enquiries@4sight.org.uk

On we are raising awareness that a stroke is a leading cause of death and devastating disability, and can cause sight loss. 1 in 4 people is estimated to have a stroke in their lifetime. Every 3 seconds, someone, somewhere, is struck by a stroke.
It means over 12 million people suffer from a stroke each year; of these 6.5 million will die. For the stroke survivors, the effects can be devastating. Families shattered, lives changed forever, and yet, stroke remains a silent epidemic that desperately needs a louder voice.
Hope remains as actually 90% of strokes could be prevented. By addressing a handful of manageable risk factors (physical inactivity being one of the top stroke risks) and increased public awareness we can be stroke.

If you need medical help always call 999, or 111 and you will be directed to the right service for your emergency.

Getting out for walks in the dark months can be a challenge when living with sight loss, so why not join our walking groups this year?

Our walking groups are great for getting out and about in the beautiful nature of West Sussex with the support of trained sighted guides to enable you to feel reassured and confident in new areas and along different routes.
Our groups meet once a month for a walk together, a chance to meet new people and often are followed by a coffee and cake too. Groups are open to anyone living with sight loss and are fit to walk.
Some groups explore routes of around 5 miles along fields, over stiles and through woodland paths, whilst others enjoy a gentle stroll along more sturdy footpaths.

We currently have groups in the Mid Sussex and Arun area, and would welcome new members living with sight loss and any new volunteers along too. Contact us today on 01243 828 555 or email enquiries@4sight.org.uk

Love walking and want to help make a difference this year? Why not join as a volunteer?
Volunteers receive full sighted guiding training to ensure them and the people they guide feel confident and safe at all times. If you have any questions or for more information about volunteering as a guide and/or being a driver for these groups please do get in touch.
