They will be able to discuss any specific requirements and specialist computer software as well as show them around the centre and its adapted equipment, kitchen facilities and gym.

Tessa Drew, 4Sight’s fundraising manager, said: “4Sight hope the evening will be a chance to show parents of children suffering sight loss that we are available locally to assist with many of the difficulties young children with this disability suffer.

“We are also available to offer their parents support and advice.”

Low vision assessments will also be available on the night if they are pre-booked on 01243 838002.
