My Sight Bassetlaw Social Group
My Sight Bassetlaw social group meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month at the Worksop Library. The group is run by our lovely, friendly volunteers who are happy to welcome you with a smile and a cuppa.
We have now merged with the Worksop Macular Group.
The social group was set up with funding from the Big Lottery Fund and although this has come to an end the group is still running and going from strength to strength.
The social group offers local people with sight loss the chance to get together, meet new people and take part in a broad range of activities. There is never a dull moment with activities such as arts and crafts, board games, quizzes, days out, guest speakers, musicians and so much more!
Please contact us before attending the group as you will need to complete an Emergency Contact Form and we need to make sure there are spaces available.
Please contact Sarah Briggs, Sight Loss Advisor at My Sight Notts, on 0115 9706806 or email sarahb@mysightnotts.org.uk
