This week (21st & 22nd January) we were at St Marys Primary School delivering Education Programme sessions to some of their classes.

We learnt about sight loss, how to keep your eyes healthy and played some sight loss related games such as learning about braille, our senses and equipment that can help someone with sight loss.

Thank you to St Marys Primary for providing the photos and inviting us to their school. We really enjoyed our time with the classes and hope they enjoyed learning with us.

Below are some photo’s of the morning session.
