Booking your visit
You will need to book  an appointment before visiting the Resource Centre. This helps ensure you have enough time — often an hour or more — for a full assessment and the chance to try out equipment that interests you.
Many visitors come with a partner, friend, family member or carer, and they are warmly encouraged to take part in the visit.
If you don’t have someone who can accompany you, Sensory Services by Sight for Surrey will do their best to arrange a volunteer driver. To request this, please email driverrequests@sightforsurrey.org.uk. You can also arrange your own transportation, or use the Connect Bus Service operated by Surrey County Council.
