Did you know?

With many thanks to your help, we now have accesible toilets fitted with Roommate audio description.

The RoomMate is an electronic, wall-mounted device, which offers Blind and Visually Impaired visitors bespoke audio description in an accessible toilet.

On entering the accessible toilet an audio announcement is triggered and the unit advises that a recorded description of the room is available.

#thankyou for helping us to bring better accessibility features into our building for our members, volunteers and staff. ... See more

Did you know that one in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time?

For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek this year, we are joining @mentalhealthfoundation to raise awareness of the impact of loneliness.

Many of our members report feeling social isolation, and emotional alienation after receiving diagnosis of their visually impairment.

We want to remind you that you are not alone. At Croydon Vision we are determined to provide emotional and practical support wherever possible to help make the transition and re-build your life.

Together we can tackle loneliness. ... See more

This weekend really filled us up with sunshine and blue skies preparing us for the summer days ahead.

What a beautiful reason to go out and explore Croydon and the cherry blossom trees we have dotted around our parks!

Stay mindful; A visually impaired person's eyes are just as vulnerable to UV rays as the eyes of somebody who can see. Here are some tips whilst spending time in the sun:

Wear a hat or cap with a broad brim or peak.

Choose a close-fitting style of sunglasses or wrap-around frames.

Try anti-glare filters in the form of 'fit-overs' which have built-in side and brow shields. These are worn over the top of ordinary glasses.
