In this webinar we're joined by Henshaw's, a Greater Manchester based organisation. Recent research funded by us and conducted by researchers from Abertay University identified that blind and vision impaired people (who are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation) lack confidence to get out and about and enjoy activities that enrich life experiences, such as sporting activities.
Henshaw's runs a portfolio of accessible social and hobby groups for vision impaired children and young people with the aim to build independence and take on the goals they've set for themselves.
Save the date: 10 April, 12pm
