Gathering in West Wales
The West Wales Gathering was filled with friendship forming and exploring new activities.
Member Neville (101 years old) attended to share his busy week of hobbies and activities with the group and told them about how his sight loss is not a barrier to him getting out and about multiple times a week.
The group learnt about the types of weekly activities organised at our Centres of Wellbeing from Member Chris. Staff member Sam (Rehabilitation Officer for the Vision Impaired) also attended to assist with technical issues on equipment. This resulted in a new Member booking and attending the Llandudno Centre along with Chris in March.
The Members at the gathering are now wanting to meet up to try new activities with Neville to understand if this is something they would like to start up locally.
Everyone enjoyed getting together and we cannot thank Neville enough for sharing his experiences and enthusiasm for life beyond sight loss!
