Our Veterans Sight Support Groups (VSSG) are held all across Scotland. These meetings support veterans living with sight loss through peer connection, shared learning, and access to relevant support services.
In our groups you'll meet other veterans who have sight loss or visual impairments, and share experiences, tips for living well, and hear from speakers. Meet ups generally run for a couple of hours and the structure and activities are decided by you, the group's veterans.
Currently we host Veterans Sight Support Groups at the following locations.
