My Guide

My Guide is a new prevention service assisting blind and partially sighted adults to get out and about.

A typical My Guide partnership meets on a regular basis and agrees on the scope and timing of activities based on the needs and motivations of the person with sight loss. This could involve simply getting out of the house and into the local community or working towards specific mobility goals such as route learning or improving fitness. Because volunteers are vetted and appropriately trained in sighted guiding techniques, service users are able to get out and about safely and on their own terms.
