Northumberland Community Chest Grant

Just some of the equipment they have purchased so far includes:

  • Right-handed and left-handed walking sticks
  • Dycem jar openers
  • Daylight Smart Travel Lamps
  • Eye Drop Dispensers
  • Typoscope
  • Noir glasses in a variety of colours and opacity
  • Bread cutting guide
  • Liquid level indicators
  • Visual impairment simulation specs

Accessible equipment like this can help to reduce barriers for people who have sight loss and give them back some confidence and independence in their day-to-day living.

A table covered in VI equipment such as noir glasses, eye drop dispensers, big print diaries, alarm clock and tactile tester strips.

We would also like to thank the Karten Network who donated equipment to our services, some of which were sent to Northumberland which will help to develop our accessibility hub and resources.

Visit our Northumberland page to learn more about the services and support we offer.

A huge thank you to Northumberland County Council for this funding.
