Mapping the Future of Adult Vision Impairment Community Services
Questionnaires for “A Clearer Picture: Mapping Adult Vision Impairment Support in Scotland” are going out week commencing 29 September 2025 to both HSCPs and charities which provide community services for vision impaired people.
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 look out for an invitation to take part coming to your HSCP or charity to ensure your organisation can participate. Together we can build a clearer picture and a stronger future for Vision Impairment services in Scotland.
