Someone To Turn To
After Phillip was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, he was feeling overwhelmed and was unable to move forward with his life.
Phillip was at a really low point. He had no one to talk to who understood what he was going through, or any help.
But with the right help, life can be very different. When it all got too much, Phillip turned to Sight Scotland for support.
We're here to ensure everyone has someone to turn to, exactly when they need us.
