The unit will be at the University Hospital of Hartlepool today and at the University Hospital of North Tees, Stockton tomorrow, between 10am and 4pm both days.

The charity will be offering information and advice about visual impairment, including benefit information, as well as having on display a number of aids to help people who are visually impaired.
