We need your help to set up a new social group in Caernarfon

The North Wales Society for the Blind is establishing a new social group for people living with sight loss in the Caernarfon area.

In other parts of North Wales – Bangor, Porthmadog, Colwyn Bay, and Llangefni – similar groups have become increasingly popular.

They offer a welcoming space for people to share experiences, support one another, and spend time with others who understand the challenges of living with sight loss.

Many of our members tell us just how valuable these groups are.

A member of our Colwyn Bay group said: “Our group is brilliant — we’ve all become very good friends. We have guest speakers on all sorts of interesting topics, and sometimes we do craft sessions or sit together to share experiences.

“It’s a great place to make new friends and talk to other people who understand sight loss. I’ve picked up so many tips and pieces of advice from others since joining, and I look forward to going every month.”

To ensure that any new group in Caernarfon is meaningful and reflects what you want, we are organising an informal session to gather your views at Lle Arall, Llety Arall, 9 Stryd y Plas, Caernarfon, Gwynedd LL55 1RR, on Tuesday, 3 November at 10:30am.

You are very welcome to come along.

If possible, please call Bethan on 01248 353604 to let us know you intend to come, so that we can ensure there are enough seats and refreshments for everyone.

We would be delighted to welcome you there and hear your views.
