Join the festive spirit and support sight loss charity at Christmas Coffee Morning

A Fife charity is inviting people to get into the festive spirit and support people with sight loss at its annual Christmas Coffee morning.

Seescape, formerly known as Fife Society for the Blind, is holding the event on Friday, December 6, to raise money and awareness about its work.

The event takes place in the charity’s Glenrothes hub on Newark Road at 10.30am. There will be festive stalls, teas, coffees and delicious cakes and snacks, as well as the chance to find out more about the charity.

The charity helps those with sight loss live more independently and provides a range of services including rehabilitation, advice, and technology demonstrations. It also offers social opportunities to those with visual impairments across Fife, as well as community-based assessments, home visits, and drop-ins at its visual impairment hub in Glenrothes to give information on the latest support and technologies available.

This winter, Seescape’s hub will also be a local ‘warm space’ location – a Fife Council initiative to work with community groups to offer warm places for anyone struggling with the cost of living.

Lesley Carcary, chief executive of Seescape, said:

“We look forward to welcoming people to our hub for the festive coffee morning every year. It is always a pleasure to share our work and successes with the local community. Our tea and cake always go down a treat and we hope as many people as possible can come along.

“We are coming into a particularly exciting time for the centre as next year is 160 years since the charity’s creation. We are looking forward to a busy year of celebrating our past and looking forward to our future.”
