Great vision!

I was hugely impressed with the work of Bucks Vision when I went to visit them on Monday morning. They are based in Aylesbury but provide services across the county.

Steve Naylor, Chief Executive and Anne Mills, Fundraising Manager welcomed me with great cup of tea and a fascinating conversation about the work of their charity. This is one of the hidden gems of Buckinghamshire.

If you are or you know someone who is experiencing sight loss of any description, Bucks Vision will be able to offer helpful advice on aids and support. They also seek to tackle the social isolation that can come with losing one's sight. As people are living longer, the incidence of sight loss is increasing. And so the vision of Bucks Vision of working towards a day when:
"all blind and partially sighted people are able to participate fully in our community, enjoying the same opportunities, freedom, responsibilities and quality of life as people who are fully sighted"
is one that is even more vital now.

Do get in touch with them if you are seeking assistance for yourself of someone elese, or indeed would like to offer support as a volunteer. (This is a volunteer based service)
