We need your support to ensure our new Community Engagement Project can reach visually impaired people across Oxfordshire.
What is the Community Engagement Project?
In a survey we conducted in January 2021, lots of people said that as many of our services are based within Oxford City, they were unable to access our support as they had no way to travel to see us. We’ve listened to this feedback and developed a five-year plan around ensuring our services reach across the county. Our plan is to have a Community Engagement Worker in each of the five districts of Oxfordshire.
Each Community Engagement Worker will cover the following areas: providing information, advice, and guidance, demonstrating equipment and technology within local community areas, setting up and supporting local peer-to-peer support groups and befriending partnerships, and raising awareness of visual impairment issues locally.
We have initially launched this work in two areas: South Oxfordshire and Oxford City. We hope that, with your support, we can introduce the project to another district next year, and by 2027 we will have established the project across the county.
