A local sight loss support group in Doncaster will now meet at a different time, as it brings people with a visual impairment together.

The group is one of a UK-wide network run thanks to volunteers, with support from leading sight loss charity the Macular Society.

A spokesman said: “The Doncaster support group, like others, is a welcoming and compassionate place to learn about the support available for people living with macular disease – the leading cause of blindness in the UK - build your confidence, and better understand your own condition. And, of course, it’s a chance to make new friends who really understand what it is like living with sight loss.

The group now meets on the third Monday of every month, between 11.30am-1pm at the Catholic Club, Waterdale.
