Experience of Sight Loss, Birdsong Exercise, & What's Showdown?

The new Happy Hour is here!

And we start with David Hogg finding out all about Showdown, a new sport that might entice you to give physical activity a go. 

Paulina chats with Katie Price to hear her experience of sight loss and how it affected her and her family, and how she's finally started to rebuild her confidence. 

Since it's the beginning of the month and spring has finally sprung, Andy Shipley from Natural Inclusion returns with the latest Sensory Odyssey. This month, it's all about birdsong! 

  

And finally, today's music therapy moment is presented by the lovely Ms Jill Fry. 

If you'd like to give showdown a go then you can contact Robin at croysuttwarriors@outlook.com or give him a call on 07889 648 925.
