KAB Social Groups

Our network of groups and clubs offer a range of opportunities for socialising and taking part in a variety of hobbies and activities, giving you the chance to meet other visually impaired people locally and to make new friends.
 
Our social groups are available to people with a sight impairment who live in Kent, Medway, Bromley and Bexley. We do ask please that you contact us before attending a club or group so we can chat things through with you and make sure the group you are interested in is the right one for you. Also, please be aware that we are unable to accommodate drop-ins so we wouldn’t want you to have a wasted trip.
 
Most of our groups meet regularly, some for a couple of hours over coffee or a pub lunch, others for longer offering a range of activities including art and crafts and visits to places of interest. Whatever type of group takes your fancy, they are a great way to make the most of your free time giving you the opportunity to meet new people, share experiences or to try something new and challenging.

Children’s activities

We also provide a range of activities especially for children with a sight impairment like theatre trips (including touch tours), bowling, soft play, swimming, cooking and ice-skating for them to enjoy with their peers, parents and siblings. Our activities aim to give children the opportunity to have fun and experience new interests while building confidence, practicing skills and meeting other young people. For more information, contact your local office.
