VIP Information Days
Programme for Visually Impaired People (VIP) is aimed at people who have recently experienced sight loss, their families and carers.
The days are funded by Derbyshire County Council Social Services and are designed to give you an overview of all the support available to people with sight loss to enable you to decide which services best suit your requirements.
Our VIP Information Days regularly feature speakers from other organisations including:
- Welfare rights for benefits advice.
- Library services
- Social services
- The Rehabilitation Team
- Community Police Officers
- Carers Association
- British Wireless for the Blind
- The Low Vision Service
We also provide information and advice regarding products that will enhance your sight and make your life easier, with an opportunity to buy the various aids and equipment.
