Welcome
Welcome to the world of Visual Impairment! This site is for sharing information, stories and concerns for all Blind and Partially Sighted people living here in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (United Kingdom). We encourage everyone to add their views and thoughts whether you are visually impaired yourself or a friend or family or you are a professional working with Visually Impaired People (VIP). Indeed these pages would be a valuable source of information for anyone who wishes to appreciate what a blind and partially sighted person has to cope with on a daily basis and by learning some of these difficulties then can perhaps provide better support, better understanding and most of all more respects.
Great News! The full Council of the Norfolk County Council has voted to allow blind bus users of concession of travelling at any time for free. Also included is the Companion pass for all disabled users. We Await for Budget Approval (mid-February) and then hopefully from April, we receive some little ease with our journeys.
