My Sight Mansfield Group
My Sight Mansfield social group meet every two weeks on a Wednesday at St Peter’s Centre. The group is run by our lovely, friendly volunteers who are happy to welcome you with a smile and a cuppa.
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 Sarah Briggs, Sight Loss Advisor at My Sight Notts, on 0115 9706806 or email sarahb@mysightnotts.org.uk before visiting the group as you will need to complete a Medical and Emergency Contact Form.
