HELLO
Are you in need of assistance with:
We are here to help.
Who are we?
Lauren who has a serious vision impairment.
Angela who is blind.
Jane who often has the role of a carer.
We get it. We know how tough it can be dealing with vision loss. If you need assistance we will try to help or steer you in the right direction. We want to connect. Create friendships. Help each other. Socialise. Be supportive of each other so we can live as independently as possible. Enjoy life.
We organise activity groups. Social events. Volunteers to help, create social inclusion.
So please call Lauren on 0405424265 if you need help or would like to connect with us
If you have a vision issue call us on 0405424265.
If you would like to Volunteer get in touch.
Volunteering is an important community role. It feels good too.
We organise activities, social gatherings, meetings and one on one assistance.
We need to break the ice and make change when it comes to our vision loss.
Some people may experience a little fear of the unknown, making them uncomfortable. This can stop them from engaging with us.
This is where you, the sighted folk, can help.
Vision loss can be very socially isolating, and this needs to change.
Simple gestures can make such a difference.
If you know someone with vision loss, a neighbour, a parent at school, a co-worker, a classmate, a friend of a friend, or even a person you don't really know, but may see them often.
If you could introduce yourself and try to include them somehow.
We think a connection service is really important to have.
Vision loss can be very socially isolating. It would be great to connect with each other, for support, sharing ideas and creating friendships.
We don't always want to rely on family or friends to talk with all the time.
Not all of us have family or friends to talk with anyway.
Here are more reasons for us wanting to start this idea.
We would really like to hear from you, regarding your bucket list items, or any ideas regarding what's written above.
Please get in touch if you would like to
get involved, and
help make positive change.

We want to be totally transparent financially.
To date, any cost involved, with this project, set up, registration, logo, web design etc., I have paid for myself.
If this idea is a success, I will require any ongoing operating costs, which will be kept to a minimum, to be taken out of any donated funds.
No overheads, such as wages, will be taken out, as absolutely no one, including myself, will be paid in any way, shape of form.
It is to be run purely on a volunteer basis in its current form.
However, for certain outings and events, people will need to pay for their own expenses. (Example. If we have a luncheon, or go to movies. etc).
We shall put up a quarterly incoming/outgoing ledger on this site, for people to view.
So if you do donate, please put a phone number, or a name you will recognise when I add it to the ledger.
