Sat 27 June, Summer Garden Party - POSTPONED due to the heat! As unusual as it is in the UK to cancel because of good weather, we have sadly decided that the heat will be too much for all of us this weekend. We will let you know our new plans in due course. Stay cool everyone!

Today's the Day. Good Luck Kyle and Georgia! On a beautiful, hot sunny day, we are off to support our intrepid skydivers. Enjoy the jump - we'll be cheering you on.

THANK YOU so much to everyone who donated online and via out Centre - we really appreciate it. All the money raised will go towards the costs of running our programme of services for blind and partially sighted people in Coventry. THANK YOU Sam, and WELL DONE!

We are working hard to raise awareness of visual impairment in Coventry and to support as many people as possible to get the help they need. There are more than 4,500 people in Coventry living with registrable sight loss and another 5,000 or so with varying degrees of sight problems that can cause significant difficulties. As part of our Outreach programme, we visit groups all around the city to talk about the impact of sight loss on individuals and their families. Where necessary, we provide support in people’s homes, too. Contact us to find out more.

DID YOU KNOW? We are founded on the determination to provide essential and life-changing services, and have a lot of fun along the way.

Getting around and about can be difficult if you have a visual impairment, so we offer an easy-to-use, door-to-door minibus service for people who want to come to the centre. We try to be flexible: just ring and book. Our vehicles are wheelchair accessible. A return journey costs £7.00 and one-way is £4.00

DID YOU KNOW? We run more than 36 hours of activities every week, from skills and hobbies to exercise and social groups.

Come and chat with our Outreach officer and other stallholders today including Dementia UK, Alzheimers Society, Parish Nursing at the Health Fayre, Woodside Methodist Church, Coventry

We'd like to tell you a bit more about some of the services on offer here at Coventry Vision Hub. First up it's our helpdesk service... Sometimes we all need a bit of help to do things – and some of them, like applying for benefits or managing a situation where you may have been treated unfairly, can be that much more difficult if you have a visual impairment. A little help at the right moment will save a lot of time and trouble later. Our staff will use their wide range of skills and knowledge to support you where...

DID YOU KNOW? We bring people together to learn new skills, explore interest, get active and get or stay connected.
