Campaign for supermarket delivery slots for the visually impaired

About time!

My experience whilst nowhere near to those standards yet…
I’m OK in shops. It still makes you anxious as I have to look at things longer than some people. The blind spot is a problem for not being near others. Within the 2 meter social distancing rule went still have at the moment.
You are really aware of a queue outside.
But if you have nobody to help, or are very limited in your vision thus must be a nightmare to work around
Through a campaign started by several sight loss charities, there are now delivery slots online made free for people who cannot navigate themselves around a supermarket or find themselves with extra pressure and anxiety to shop quickly and safely which won’t be possible.
In my view this should have been implemented from the start.
I hope it will now take any anxiety or stress away for those who are blind or with very limited vision to become able to buy themselves the items they need to make life easier for them.
