@LuConnop @EuroBusExpo @DVSAgovuk Enjoy!

[Sight Loss Councils @SLCouncils]

Exciting news! Working with @PocklingtonHub we have launched an approved free national bus and coach driver training resource for all trainers and operators as part of #CatchTheBusMonth - working with @CPT_UK, @DVSAgovuk, @transportgovuk & @BrightonHoveBus 

Narrated by Paralympic Gold medallist @loraturnham and developed with our volunteers, these materials will reach over 95% of local UK bus services and around 65 per cent of coach operators.

2/3 Nick shared his experiences of mental illness through a powerful, inspiring, & engaging talk. The session enabled blind and partially sighted participants to learn how to use their own lived experience to overcome the anxiety of #PublicSpeaking.

@martinsymcox @AllianceMBS @PocklingtonHub @EmmaHughes168 It was a great day, two great presentations and no doubt lots to follow up on in the reports. Such a pleasure working with @AllianceMBS and your wonderful students. It was great to stay and see the other group presentations too, a very enjoyable and insightful day.

[Martin Symcox @martinsymcox]

Fantastic presentations from @AllianceMBS students today. Extremely professional and confident delivery and very well thought through content based from detailed research. So much opportunity to follow up on for @PocklingtonHub. @EmmaHughes168

This was the subject of a ‘focus group’ Greater Manchester @SLCouncils attended yesterday @AllianceMBS as final year #Business students undertake a consultancy project for @PocklingtonHub to find out more 👍

Huge thanks to Victoria @AccessBuses, Nick, Dean and Dave for showing us your new accessible buses!

The team @PocklingtonHub are looking forward to working with you to increase driver awareness in the sector making bus journeys inclusive for all.

"I spent a long time hiding my disability, trying to blend in, trying to be normal and not wanting to ask people for help."

A great video from Rob on his #BlindFocus YouTube channel where he talks about his journey with #RetinitisPigmentosa.
