As a mark of respect for our President, Joan Milburn, the Vision Support Barrow & District Centre will be closed on Friday 14th August, as our staff and volunteers will be attending Joan’s funeral to pay our respects and celebrate her life.
We thank our service users, families and supporters for their understanding as we come together to remember Joan and honour the incredible contribution she made to our organisation and the wider visually impaired community.
