The Macular Society is the UK charity dedicated to supporting anyone with central vision loss and their family and friends. There are more than 600,000 people in the UK with age-related macular degeneration and it is the most common cause of sight loss in the developed world. We have over 16,000 members and around 5,500 professional members. We have more than 300 local support groups and provide a range of other services including information, telephone befriending and a professional counselling service. We fund research so that one day we can overcome macular disease. Currently we are looking to support more people who have difficulty with "the bit in the middle" and want to engage a range of volunteers to help us deliver our services across Scotland.
