Visually impaired or partially sighted people could be missing out on the joys of shopping.
Yet with the help of Basildon, Billericay and Wickford volunteer bureau, this could be a thing of the past.
As part of the bureau's onsight project, sighted volunteers will guide clients around the shops at a leisurely pace, pointing out offers and displays.
For more information call Sharon Chan on 01268 282247.
