Case studies

Karen

"I love the supporting atmosphere here. Everyone getting out of the house and talking, making things, and having fun together. It’s nice.”

Karen has been a member of the Vista social groups for as long as she's been able, and doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.

Les

It's lovely to make the residents smile, even just a five minute chat can make a difference.

Les, who regularly visits his parents at New Wycliffe, became a volunteer so he could help out at the home.

Liam

Ebikes are fantastic for people who can't drive but still want to get out and about, which can really benefit them physically and mentally.

Ebikes Electric Cycle Centres have launched a partnership with Vista, raising vital funds by offering exclusive deals to the public.

Luigi

The project has helped in all aspects of my life – the reassurance that you’re not on your own and that there’s somebody there to turn to fills me with hope.

Luigi worked as a Postman for 26 years and loved his job. When his eye sight started to worsen he was put in touch with Vista’s services.

Lydia

Lydia is so much more confident, she has made so many new friends, so she knows she is not alone anymore.

Lydia, 14 has been supported by Vista for the past 18 months, after being referred to us after an appointment at the hospital after being registered sight impaired.

Lynda

Having the support of someone who understands dual sensory loss has given me the confidence to access my community.

Lynda, who became blind by the age of thirty-five, has been supported by Vista for over thirty years.
