How is your world impacted when you lose your sight?
Looking at all age groups; children, teenagers, adults and elderly, this talk explores how to move forward positively to a new way of living.
The talk uses positive and thought provoking stories to illustrate real situations, gained from working in this field with hundreds of blind and partial sighted people.
I was Centre Manager developing activities for visually impaired, enriching their world for a number of years.
Hear about the driving instruction, visits to theatres and holidays - including taking visually impaired children to Euro Disney. Short breaks for youth; abseiling, rock climbing and canoeing- sight loss did not deter them.

My background is 20 years experience in l bereavement work, over 40 years experience as a Registered Social Worker and 15 years a teacher/trainer, I was Director of a Healthy Living Centre for 19 years.
My work involved public speaking around the Country at; The House of Lords, Birmingham NEC, Bradford City Hall, Nottingham University Conference and at the Tavistock Medical Practitioners conference.
I particularly enjoy speaking at Community Group sessions. My work In community groups has been motivational, working with secondary school pupils, parents and older people.
My delivery is a relaxed style, with humour and learning. I weave into my talks true stories, to illustrate my message of positivity in the most difficult of circumstances.
