Wales Vision Forum

The purpose of the Forum is for organisations representing people with sight loss to come together to share, discuss and outline work programmes and priorities to enhance joint working and reduce duplication to maximise our collective reach and impact.

The Forum is a platform for sharing information, sharing good practice and expertise, consulting and identifying opportunities to support service and campaign planning.

The group will also focus on the work of relevant work-streams such as the Wales Vision Strategy and Cross Party Group on Vision. Task and finish groups will be established for specific areas of work, as agreed at meetings or via email by a majority.
