Grateful to @watfordblind Centre for being our guides on Saturday. Working with us to create events that remove barriers to countryside access for those with any level of visual impairment.

We've a lot to learn & do. Working with this team made us want to do better 💫

When you have a meeting to discuss where light switches & power points are to be positioned you know things are progressing!

The building is really starting to take shape and with the opening up of old to new walls the realisation of what a difference it will make.

Our next Working Age Group catch up is this Saturday. We are meeting at The Tea Pavilion, Cassiobury Park at 10am for a walk before enjoying a coffee. We’d love to see new faces, so get in touch if you’d like to join us. @RNIB @HertsVisionLoss @guidedogs

Yummy cupcake baking at our Working Age group today. Lots of finger licking mixing, fantastic smells as they cooked and then concentration while decorating. Great work from everyone. Hope you enjoyed eating them!

Thanks to all who came and enjoyed our inaugural fundraising Bingo night.

It was great to see so many of our members, their families and our friends enjoying a fun night together while continuing fundraising for our Accessible Project.

We raised a fantastic £1500.

Yesterday some of our younger members braved the cold and enjoyed a taster bowls session with @MetroVISports. There was a definite improvement towards the end of the session and everyone enjoyed having a go. Thanks to those who helped.

[Watford Blind Centre @watfordblind]

This is a fantastic uplifting play which is fully inclusive. A must see.
