A free course offering practical and emotional support to people in Warminster struggling to come to terms with sight loss is being held in the town next week.

The two-day Finding Your Feet course, run by Action for Blind People, is designed to support visually impaired people of all ages by helping them to adjust.

Workshops will be delivered by experts who have either a personal experience or a professional understanding of visual impairment. Partners and friends are encouraged to attend as well.

Gerry Russell, of Action for Blind People, said: “Participants realise they’re not alone and that they can adjust to the challenges ahead.”

To register for the course, which will be held behind the Fire Station on Bradley Road, on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9.30am-4.30pm, call 01722 345 440 or email salisbury@actionforblindpeople.org.uk
