Much of Terry’s 17 years of service to the Charity has been spent managing the delivery of direct face-to-face services, including low vision assessments of individuals in their own homes and suggestions of various aids which might help people to overcome the challenges posed by sight-loss. As well as helping individuals to access statutory bene ts they are entitled to. Terry has also managed over two hundred volunteers, who enable those with sight loss to meet socially in a network of clubs throughout the county, as well as overseeing the running of eleven ‘information hubs’ in Hampshire. e information hubs operate on a regular basis, located in central venues such as libraries, where quali ed sta members from Open Sight are available on a ‘drop in’ basis for those a ected by sight loss to discuss personal problems and issues which Terry and Tracey might demand practical information or, on occasions, emotional support. Terry is seen regularly at Open Sight’s Totton social club, which is run by his wife Tracey. As the Clubs volunteer leader Tracey organises and runs the events for Open Sight’s Totton social club which is based at Totton and Eling Community Centre. Following his retirement from Open Sight Terry will continue to support the Charity in a new voluntary role as Club Secretary for the Totton social club, assisting Tracey.
