Dalgety Bay Charities: Scottish War Blinded Charity (Fife) help Local Jim Thompson (Story via Fife Today)
Dalgety Bay war veteran reconnected with Navy heritage thanks to the Scottish War Blinded Charity
Fiona McCormick, Scottish War Blinded Rehabilitation Officer, assessed Jim Thompson (95) at home in Dalgety Bay and worked closely with him to establish the ideal specialist equipment to help him maintain his independence – including the Traveller HD and specialist portable lighting. All provided free of charge by the charity.
Jim said: “Fiona’s been very good. She came to visit me at home with a range of pieces of equipment to try out and the support I’ve been receiving from her has been lovely. I can’t fault it.”
“Scottish War Blinded have also set me up with the Freedom LED lamp, I think it’s brilliant. The brighter it is, the better it is for my sight. I have a smaller one too. I use that for smaller work, it complements some handheld magnifiers I have.” For more see…
