Final call for organisations to take part in research on mapping adult Vision Impairment services in Scotland
Mapping the Future of Adult Vision Impairment Community Services
Questionnaires for “A Clearer Picture: Mapping Adult Vision Impairment Support in Scotland” were sent out in early October to both HSCPs and charities which provide community services for people with Vision Impairment. This research will provide a shared map which shows gaps in current services, identifies opportunities to build stronger evidence-based support and provides evidence for future planning, commissioning, and service delivery.
Please ensure that your organisation takes part. The deadline for responses is 14 November 2025. Together we can build a clearer picture and a stronger future for vision impairment services in Scotland.

Vision Impairment Rehabilitation Courses and sponsorship programme
Details are coming soon of the new Vision Impairment rehabilitation courses at the University of Strathclyde, and a Vision Collaborative Scotland sponsorship programme to help employers with costs. Please check Sight Scotland’s social media channels for up-to-date news.
