Welcome to Beyond Sight Loss
We are a self-help group of people who are vision impaired and volunteers meeting regularly in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Our aspirations are to continue to grow and we certainly can grow stronger with your help and input. We meet monthly to update members on local and national developments – by inviting guest speakers and to provide an opportunity for social interaction. We also arrange a variety of monthly outings / activities such as cooking, meals out, theatre trips, visits to places of interests. If you would like to know more about what we do, know anyone who could benefit from what we provide or would like to become a member or volunteer, please contact us.
Membership is open to anyone who lives in or near the borough of Tower Hamlets and has a sight impairment that affects their daily life.
