Services for people who are visually impaired

If you or someone you care for is visually impaired, there are local services and support available to help you live independently and confidently.

Support may include:

  • mobility: helping people get around safely and learn regular routes
  • communication: developing skills to record and read information
  • daily living skills: practising everyday tasks like making a drink or snack

We provide a specialist service for people of all ages who are visually impaired and have been assessed as eligible for support.

Further information is available on the Hartlepool Now website.
