Connecting people to support
Beyond the Sensory Needs Team, advice and support is also available from a range of organisations found here. This list includes organisations which specialise in certain eye conditions, and those who may also have additional health conditions or disabilities.
There are many more charities for lesser known conditions or specialist groups such as for blind parents or blind children. To learn more about these groups please call the RNIB helpline on 0303 123 9999.
The RNIB also has a lot of useful information on various eye conditions here: Eye conditions | RNIB

- Yoga
- Arts and crafts
- Creative writing
The classes take place at The St Pancras and Somers Town Living Centre
