People with visual impairments have been really impacted by Covid-19, leaving some people more isolated than ever. Having a visual impairment stops people from being able to socially distance properly, and even those with guide dogs have struggled, as the dogs have never been trained to keep a social distance.

These issues have left many people with visual impairments unable to leave the house and unable to do the things they normally would be able to do independently.

This is why it’s now more important than ever to lend your support to charities like My Sight Notts, who are helping people through this difficult time, offering emotional support and advice as well as providing assistive technology to help in their day-to-day lives.
