the Forth Valley Sensory Centre newsletter - Falkirk Council

Out and About
Here at the Sensory Centre we are keen to make sure that everyone in
the Forth Valley Area knows who we are and how to get in touch with us
if they need or want to access any support from us.
We now have our minibus kitted out as a display bus which we can take
to outreach events across Forth Valley to meet people, show them
specialist equipment and provide further information and support.
We recently attended a community
event at Mclaren Community Leisure
Centre in Callander and also the TAG
central event at the Albert Halls in
Stirling.
If you have some ideas of events we
could attend or places you would like to
see our bus displayed please contact
reception on 01324 590888.
My Guide
An estimated 180,000 blind and partially sighted people never go out
alone. If you (or someone you know) are one of them, the new MY
GUIDE service, provided by the Sensory Centre in partnership with
Guide Dogs, could help.
MY GUIDE service is a partnership between a volunteer and a blind or
partially sighted person that provides support to enable participation in a
range of social and leisure activities. It normally lasts for a fixed period
of time (3 to 6 months) to help people with sight loss become more
independent, not dependent, by setting and working towards clear goals.
