Useful Vision invite parents and carers back to relax, unwind, and recharge for another exclusive wellness event in partnership with HERU Yoga For The Blind.

From the 19th – 23rd September 2022, members of the Useful Vision team, Sophie, Ciara and Caitie, are taking on the challenge of walking Hadrian’s Wall, a 135km hike from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend, to fundraise for Useful Vision!

We are inviting families to join us on the last leg of the journey and walk from the Tyne Bridge to Segedunum, Wallsend. Stroll past iconic landmarks along the River Tyne, get a breath of fresh air, and connect with other parents/carers. The walk is around 4 miles and will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Optionally, we can provide a sponsorship pack if you would like to use this opportunity to fundraise for Useful Vision, or simply come along to show your support!

AbilityNet are delivering a session about how technology can support a visually impaired person day-to-day. This session will focus on how devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home can be used to support independence. We will also discuss smartphone apps and accessories such as Apple Watches and Fitbits. There will be lots of time to ask any questions.

If you require further help after this session, AbilityNet have a community of volunteers who can provide a home visit to set up any new technology. All of AbilityNet’s services are free to individuals.
