Lighting and design for professionals and support services
Thomas Pocklington Trust is keen to work with health, social care and housing practitioners to promote the need for action on good lighting and design at home for people with sight loss.
Small changes to lighting and design can make big differences to people's lives but lack of information, and caution about electrical works, can mean that practical guidance is rarely provided.
In response to this issue, Thomas Pocklington Trust provides a range of services for professionals and support services to help them meet the challenge of providing appropriate housing for people with sight loss. Whether you are an architect, a social landlord, or a local authority, our resources and consultancy services can help you.
Design guideThomas Pocklington Trust, in association with Habinteg (the Housing Association for disabled people), has produced a design guide for developing housing for people with sight loss.
