Pacific Island Peer Support Group
Pacific Island peer support groups are open to all blind, deafblind and vision-impaired Pacific people (and their families) who are registered with the RNZFB. Peer support groups provide support to Pacific Island blind people regarding issues about blindness, offer advice and resources, such as accessing services from RNZFB or other organisations and offer an opportunity to meet new people.
