The North Ayrshire Sensory Impairment Team has launched a new Facebook group for anyone living with a sensory impairment in North Ayrshire and the surrounding areas, as well as their friends and family.

The group will be used to share important updates and information from the team, as well as various charities and organisations working with those living with a sensory impairment, and provides a place where people can meet up, have a chat and share advice.

You can join the group by searching for ‘North Ayrshire Sensory Impairment Group’ on Facebook.
