Could you provide a much needed monthly lift to a visually impaired person living in the Totton area?
The Open Sight Totton Social Club provides a valuable lifeline to local blind and partially sighted people who are often elderly and socially isolated. The monthly Monday afternoon Club provides a chance for local visually impaired folks to get together for a chat, a cup of tea, some light hearted entertainment, support and understanding.
Your role would be to collect Club Members, take them to the Club and drop them home again afterwards. If you wished to stay and help out at the meeting, you would be made very welcome.
