We facilitate social groups within communities throughout Perth and Kinross. Groups are supported by staff and volunteers. Participants can take part in activities, find out about their community and perhaps outings.
Our groups are all free to attend and you’ll meet a great bunch of people.
In Blairgowrie we have a group which has been running for years thanks to the commitment of a wonderful team of volunteers.
Our Blairgowrie group is open to anyone in the community who has sight loss. The volunteer team put together a programme of activities and deliver sessions once a month.
The group has occasional guest speakers, do quizzes, chair exercise and have outings to places of interest or to have lunch as a group.
The group meets every 3rd Thursday of the month at 10.30am to 12noon, in Blairgowrie Parish Church Hall, James Street, PH10 6EZ.
If you are interested in joining, please contact us by calling 01738 626969, or emailing info@visionpk.org.uk
The National Lottery has funded our Reconnect project to develop groups for people with a visual impairment. Our Social groups give an opportunity to meet others, share experiences, socialise and take part in activities.
If you need support to attend your family, friend or carer is welcome to join you.
