South East London
South East London Sight Loss Council launched in Spring 2024. It is our third Sight Loss Council (SLC) in the capital, and joins North London and South West London SLCs.
South East London SLC covers the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, and Southwark.
SLC members use their lived experience to tackle things that really matter to blind and partially sighted people by working on national, regional, and local projects.
“We’re thrilled to expand Sight Loss Councils (SLC) in London, with South East London SLC our third in the capital.“Led by blind and partially sighted people, SLCs are dedicated to creating real impact and driving positive change within local communities.“If you’re blind or partially sighted, live in South East London, and are passionate about improving access and raising awareness among service providers and businesses, we want to hear from you!
Join South East London Sight Loss Council
South East London Sight Loss Council is recruiting new members who live in the local area.
If you want to make a real difference in your local area on the issues that affect blind and partially sighted people, joining our Sight loss Council could be the perfect volunteering opportunity for you.
You will work with policy makers and local service providers to improve access for blind and partially sighted people in your local community. It is also a great opportunity to come together with other blind and partially sighted people in your area.
“I believe in the power of peer support, and being an SLC volunteer embodies this. We are a group of blind and partially sighted people, who come together and work to improve the lives of people with sight loss, breaking down barriers along the way.
“We know and understand many of the issues because we are living them. We can help to find the solutions.
“It’s a great feeling when the SLC records a success, no matter how big or small. It is not just a success for us, but for blind and partially sighted people as a whole. That’s what makes being an SLC member so rewarding.”
