The aims of Sight Action are:
- To support and inform people of all ages with a vision impairment, resident in the area, in order to minimise social isolation and promote and encourage independence.
- To adopt a dynamic, friendly and flexible approach to vision impairment as a means of raising awareness in the community.
- To support, advise and provide information to those at risk of losing their sight, or already living with sight loss.
- To input into strategies, and the planning of services, likely to have an impact on those at risk of, or experiencing, sight loss.
