Read more of our Story
At VI Social, we're a vibrant friendship group that embraces people of all ages with any form of visual impairment.
Our mission is to support, guide, and empower you to gain confidence, make new friends, and promote independence through fun-filled events, both online and in-person.
We meet up regularly for exciting activities, so be sure to check out our events calendar. While we're based in Sutton Coldfield, our reach extends across the Midlands, and we proudly collaborate with other community organisations to provide comprehensive support.
Our Founder's Quote
"VI Social began with a simple idea: to create a community where visually impaired individuals could find support, friendship, and opportunities for growth. Our name reflects our mission - to foster social connections and empower those with visual impairments. As we've grown, we've remained committed to our core belief: together, we can make a positive change in people's lives, one smile at a time.
Our journey from a small friendship group (SAMS, his pet dogs name) to a vibrant organisation demonstrates the power of community. We strive to be the change we want to see in the world, creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, regardless of visual ability. At VI Social, we're not just building a group - we're building a family. Join us as we continue to grow, learn, and support each other on this remarkable journey.”
