Macular Society secures grant for services in Scotland

The Macular Society will expand its services in Scotland over the next three years after securing a £120,000 grant from the National Lottery.

The charity has been awarded the funding in order to help it provide practical and emotional support to people of all ages living with macular disease.

In order to deliver these services, it plans to work with: people living with vision impairment and their families; health, education and public services; as well as employers, teachers, volunteers and other charities.

The Macular Society will also offer peer support, access to low-vision training, equipment and technology, daily living skills, volunteer development, health and wellbeing support and a young people’s service.
