What is Esme's Umbrella?
Esme's Umbrella is a campaign group working towards a greater awareness and understanding of Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS). They provide detailed information about CBS itself and offer support, reassurance and practical advice to those who have developed the condition. If you are looking for peer support, you may be referred on to the Macular Society, who run a six week telephone support group for people with CBS (no matter what has caused their sight loss) and one-to-one CBS buddies, or counselling, for people who would like to speak to someone who has experienced CBS.
Please make the customer aware that calls to Esme's Umbrella Helpline are currently being answered by RNIB Eye Health Information team, working in conjunction with Esme's Umbrella.
Further information can be found on the Esme's Umbrella webpage.
