Our Retina UK Talk & support service (formerly Telephone Befriending Service) links people who may be feeling isolated or lonely with a trained volunteer for regular contact.
We offer friendly phone calls from trained volunteers who are willing to share their experiences and lend a listening ear.
This service offers a social link on a more personal and longer term basis than the Retina UK Helpline, with regular calls being made by the volunteers for as long as they are welcomed.
The Retina UK Talk & support service volunteers are extensively trained and are all either directly affected by inherited sight loss, or have a close relative with the condition.
This service is particularly suitable for those who may have difficulty attending Retina UK Local Group meetings or Retina UK Information Days.
There is no pressure on users of the service to continue contact. We regret that we are only able to offer the Retina UK Talk & Support Service to those over the age of 18.
We also offer a number of online support groups
If you would welcome a friendly phone call once or twice a month from one of the team, please contact us.
“It is an absolutely brilliant and well needed service.”
