Description

People who are blind or partially sighted often find themselves isolated and lonely - excluded from many of the social things that sighted people take for granted. Even in church they may feel left out and find their needs are not adequately addressed. Without sight they cannot read the church news and find it difficult to seek out friends and make new friendships.It's also good to meet together with those who face the same issues - to share experiences, to find resources and bring encouragement.A blind or partially sighted person can feel they really “belong” in a Torch Fellowship GTwo friends at a Fellowship Grouproup and find care and support that complements what is available from churches and elsewhere. This is where Torch Fellowship Groups fill a need. They are not an alternative to church but do provide an opportunity for Christian fellowship - visually impaired and sighted people together - but where vision is not an issue. Most Groups have visually impaired people in leadership; fully involved in planning and running the activities of the Group.
