The Doncaster Macular Support Group meets on the third Monday of every month, from 10.30am-12.30pm, at Priory Place Methodist Church, Printing Office Street. It is one of more than 350 groups of its kind in the UK offering vital information, encouragement and friendship to people who are affected by macular disease. Macular Society regional manager, Julie Swan, said: “The Doncaster Macular Support Group provides a real lifeline for people with sight loss. The peer support offered by the groups is absolutely vital – it’s incredibly reassuring for people to know that there are others who truly understand their situation.

“With more than 200 people in the UK being diagnosed with macular disease every day, the existence of our support groups has never been more important. If you have some free time and would be willing to help out, we would love to hear from you.

“We will also be available to support our volunteers as they learn their new roles and provide any guidance they need going forward.”
