Registered Blind?

Yes No

If you tell us you are registered blind then we simply need your name, address and contact phone number.  We can easily confirm your blind person's registration details with this information.

If you are not registered blind then you need to provide us with suitable evidence of your visual impairment.  This is not difficult, simply return the completed form which we will send you with the first edition of Hamilton Sound.  A doctor, optician or Social Worker can endorse the form and you may find that by contacting the local Social Worker for the Blind other aids and services can be made available to you.

Your name, address and telephone number will be treated as highly confidential.  No one will contact you by post, email or telephone unless specifically about Hamilton Sound.  We will not pass your details on to any other party unless you give us clear and specific permission to do so.  If you cancel your membership all records containing your details will be destroyed.
