Confidence Building Courses

Our Confidence Building Courses are for people who are facing the early stages of blindness or a significant deterioration in their vision, whose mental wellbeing and confidence have been deeply affected, and who need meaningful support to help them feel capable, independent, and hopeful again. 

The four‑week programme will help blind and partially sighted people across Sheffield and Rotherham build the confidence they need to live more independently. Clients frequently tell SRSB/RSS that reduced confidence affects mobility, technology use and social interaction - areas that can significantly impact wellbeing and increase isolation.

Led by SRSB/RSS’s qualified Rehabilitation Officers, the course will use real‑life scenarios to help participants develop practical skills, explore technology solutions and strengthen emotional resilience. Support will also be provided by SRSB/RSS’s Emotional Support Officer and Counsellor/Psychotherapist.

Confidence Building Course, made possible through the generous support of Sheffield Abbeydale Rotary.
