Maidstone mobility team
Our team of 26 staff is based in Maidstone and Brighton providing services, support and advice to blind and partially sighted people within the following areas:
- Kent
- East Sussex
- Brighton and Hove
Together with dedicated volunteers, we work to deliver and raise awareness of Guide Dogs' services and campaigns to enable blind and partially sighted people to get out and about on their own terms.
Did you know there are approximately 15,400 registered blind and partially sighted people living in the counties mentioned above?
In order to live a full life and contribute to the local community, people need to be able to get around on their own. Every hour another person in the UK loses their sight. Guide Dogs works to make sure that when someone loses their sight, they don't lose their freedom too.
We deliver the following Guide Dogs' mobility services:
- The Guide Dogs Service
- Orientation and Mobility Training (cane training for those applying for a guide dog)
- My Sighted Guide
Mobility services for children and young people (CYP), including:
- Family support
- Movement matters
- Education support
- Access technology
- Guide dogs
- CustomEyes Books
- Family events
At any one time we're supporting approximately 260 guide dog partnerships. Find out how our services could help you or someone you know.
