Emergency NOISE April 2020: Corona Virus
Update for Northumberland County Blind Association Clients
Dear Friend.
Due to the continuing Corona Virus situation, our office is now closed until further notice. However, we want to do our best to keep in contact with our vulnerable service users. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer a new ring around service, which will be managed and delivered entirely by our volunteers.

If you need emergency support, please telephone the Local Authority on 01670 536400
-
If you already have a contact volunteer assigned to you, and your matter is not an emergency, please contact them.
-
If you do not already have a contact volunteer and would like someone to call you, please email barry.frost@ncba.org.uk

Alternatively, contact Lynn Woods on Lynn.woods@hotmail.co.uk
Please look after yourself and make sure you follow the Government Advice. We will be back as soon as we are able to. From the Team at Northumberland County Blind Association
Our projects
In 2013, NCBA received £495,924 from the Big Lottery Reaching Communities fund. This terrific sum will help NCBA fund its voluntary services and further develop its information service for five years. Find out more about how we are putting our funding to good use, with our Key Communications project.
Access our resources
Our Resource Centre has a wide range of low-vision aids and other equipment for demonstration, some of which can be given out on loan.
Our facilities include a specially-adapted kitchen suitable for rehabilitation use for teaching kitchen skills to visually-impaired people.
Get Involved
Volunteering for NCBA is a very rewarding experience, knowing you are making a real difference in supporting blind or partially-sighted people living in Northumberland.
You will be supported by our experienced Volunteer Co-ordinator, who will ensure that you are comfortable with your commitment.
