Our Equipment Rehoming Service connects people with pre-owned assistive equipment that has been generously donated.

We currently have a range of items available, including video magnifiers, audiobook players and specialist sunglasses, alongside a variety of other practical equipment.

By giving equipment a second life, we can help more people access practical tools that support independence and everyday living.

Interested in any of the equipment currently available, or have items you no longer need? Get in touch to find out more or to donate equipment.

You can browse available items on our website: https://sightlossshropshire.org.uk/equipment-rehoming-service/

Meet the newest members of the team!

Volunteer Simon and his fabulous guide dog Erica have been helping out in the SLS office.

Erica is proving to be an excellent office assistant, with plenty of important work including welcoming everyone, supervising proceedings and generally making sure there are enough cuddles to go around.

Thank you, Simon, for volunteering your time, and Erica, for your very important contribution! We're delighted to have you on board 🐾🧡

Forest School fun! 🌲🔥

Our Young People’s Activity Group had a fantastic day, trying new things and learning new skills. From cooking pizzas over an open fire to having a go at archery, there were plenty of opportunities to get stuck in and have fun.

A brilliant day of outdoor adventure and new experiences.
