Our Sight Scotland Support Line and Veterans Information lines will close temporarily over the Christmas period as our staff take a well-deserved break. Both lines will close at 1pm on Wednesday 24 December and re-open again at 10am on Monday 5 January.
During this time, if you need to speak to someone urgently, you can contact Samaritans on 116 123, NHS 24 on 111 or the Emergency services on 999, depending on your need.
