Befriending Service
N-Vision offers a befriending service to visually impaired clients living in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre to individuals who are feeling lonely and isolated in their homes.
The Befriending Service offers support and companionship to clients of N-Vision, who, for a number of reasons may be experiencing isolation and lonliness. The Befriending Service has a number of volunteers who go out and visit people in the homes to offer company and a chat.
Wherever possible, the Befriending Service aims to help people gain their confidence and join some of the social activities that N-Vision has to offer.
