The Eye Talk Course Bury runs alongside a relaxed Thursday morning drop-in, offering two welcoming spaces for people with sight loss to learn, connect, and feel supported. Whether you’re looking for conversation or practical advice, this weekly session offers both.
When & Where
Every Thursday
Drop-In: 10:30am to 12:00pm (Small Lounge)
Eye Talk Course: 10:00am to 12:00pm (Large Lounge)
Bury Society for Blind and Partially Sighted People, 6–8 Trafford Street, Bury, BL9 0TY
Who is eligible?
The drop-in is open to anyone with sight loss or other access needs. The Eye Talk Course is suitable for people looking to better understand and manage their visual impairment. Carers are also welcome to attend either session.
What to expect
In the Small Lounge, the drop-in provides a relaxed setting for refreshments and friendly conversation. Volunteers are available to welcome new visitors and offer support if needed.
Meanwhile, the Eye Talk Course Bury takes place in the Large Lounge. This structured programme offers guidance on living with sight loss, using assistive technology, and accessing services. Sessions are led by experienced staff and tailored to the needs of participants.
Both spaces are fully accessible, and you can choose to attend either or both depending on your interests. Moreover, the calm, supportive environment ensures everyone feels included and valued.
Booking Required
The Eye Talk Course requires advance booking, as places are limited. The Thursday Morning Drop-In does not require booking — you can just turn up.
