Scotland Regional Peer Support Group
This regional Peer Support Group provides a welcoming, safe and friendly opportunity for people with inherited sight loss to meet up to share experiences, tips and information.
We are pleased to invite you to join Sarah, our Glasgow Group facilitator for an Autumn online region-wide Scotland Peer Support Group meeting.
We would love to invite our community across Scotland living with inherited retinal sight loss including our Edinburgh & Glasgow peer support group members to come together for a special online meeting as we look ahead and plan our activities for 2027.
This session will be an open space to share your ideas and let us know what you would like to get out of our group meetings in the coming year.
To help shape our future schedule, we are also gathering feedback on the types of events and activities you’d be most interested in joining.
What we’d love your input on:
- Research & Medical Updates: In-person information sessions on the latest developments and research news.
- Science & Technology: Including the Glasgow Science Centre or advice sessions around technology.
- Cultural Outings: Museum visits with handling sessions and touch tours.
- Arts & Entertainment: Audio-described theatre trips and art galleries.
- Outdoor Adventures: Accessible walks and group visits to local landmarks.
- Social Events: Pub lunches, evening meals, and relaxed coffee mornings.
- Your Ideas: Any other activities, workshops, or topics you would like us to organise!
Whether you regularly attend our local group meetings or haven’t been able to make one in a while, your voice is incredibly valuable in helping us create a supportive, fun and engaging calendar for 2027.
We also now have a vacancy for a volunteer local group facilitator to run our Edinburgh group. If anyone is interested, this would be a great way to meet some of the members and being part of the conversation shaping the group for the year ahead.
If you are unable to attend this online meeting but would still like to share your thoughts, please reply directly to this email with your feedback and suggestions.
We hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there!
Also, if you are interested in joining the Scotland WhatsApp group to stay in contact with others and keep up to date with this peer group’s activity then please email [email protected] to request the joining link.
