Sight Scotland in Glasgow Libraries

Sight Scotland is an organisation that works on tackling and supporting people dealing with visual impairments and sight loss. Sight Scotland social groups aim to gather people together who need support with visual impairment or sight loss and help people to get out there, meet new folks, and grow confidence.

We are holding a regular Parent and Carer Support Group on the last Wednesday of every month from 11am-1pm in the Mitchell Library. The group is for parents/carers of children with visual impairments or sight loss to get together and have a chat about their own experiences. At the group you’ll find people that are facing similar circumstances as you.

Sight Scotland are delivering Braille teaching classes for the visually impaired community and for sighted guides. Launching in June 2024, we will gather every second and fourth Thursday from 1pm-3pm at the Mitchell Library with a trained Braille teacher, and every first and third Thursday at Gorbals Library from 11am-1pm for a group study of Braille.
