'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'
VisionPK is the only charity in Perth and Kinross solely dedicated to supporting people with sight and hearing loss. We help individuals maintain independence, build confidence, and access the practical and emotional support they need to live full lives. Our specialist rehabilitation team works primarily in the community, often visiting people at home to assess their needs and recommend equipment or strategies to make daily living easier. Early intervention is central to our approach, ensuring people understand their condition and have support as it progresses. We also provide social and activity groups to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and restore community connections, as well as a telephone befriending service for those in rural areas. Our sensory hub offers information and guidance and is often the first point of contact for anyone seeking help with sight or hearing loss.
Objectives: The company's objects are to promote the welfare of people who have a sensory impairment which impacts on activities of daily living or mobility residing within the area administered by Perth and Kinross Council and such other area or areas as the company may subsequently include within its geographical area of operations or as may be determined by the company at its absolute discretion, (hereinafter referred to as, “the Operating Area”) and to work with such persons to empower and support them to lead independent and fulfilling lives as equal members of society.
