A telephone contact service is available to blind and visually impaired people in Cornwall.
The service, called Talking Support, is aimed at easing the isolation and loneliness sight impaired people sometimes experience. Some personal contact, encouragement and a little support can help a lot. The telephone calls are made weekly and there is no cost involved. The volunteers are based all over the county and many of them have sight problems themselves so they really do understand the difficulties and frustrations people have to cope with.

It’s very easy to access the service either by calling the Truro Sight Centre or by email. Callers will first have a brief conversation with the Project Leader and shortly after that our most appropriate volunteers will be in touch.

If you think Talking Support would be good for you, or you know someone who you think might benefit, please call the Truro Sight Centre on 01872 261110 or email Talkingsupport@ cornwallblind.org.uk to find out more about this free service.
