Our #Lancashire @SLCouncils is really keen to get more #Blind & #PartiallySighted people active.

So last Saturday we went along to @Prestonparkrun

Watch our short video below to see how we got on 👇

Imagine if you were #Blind or #PartiallySighted and were walking along the street.

What obstacles would you encounter? Overhanging foliage, signs, parked cars, street furniture & much more.

Merseyside @SLCouncils visited #Oxton in the #Wirral yesterday & it was challenging…

🎁 We are very proud of our partnership with @BuryBlindSoc and the work we do to support each other. Year 12 students Zenab and Imaan thoroughly enjoyed their time spent with other volunteers, wrapping Christmas presents to raise money to fund the fantastic work of the charity.👏
