Connect Voices Round Up 2 November 2022
Season 1, Episode 1452, Nov 02, 2022, 09:00 AM
Clare Aldworth, RNIB Voice of the Customer Insight Officer shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in with RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey.
Opportunities highlighted this week included:
6 Month Involvement Opportunity to Join RNIB Steering Group!
This is an opportunity to share your lived experience of sight loss and help the RNIB to create various training resources for low vision practitioners. We would like to create a steering group of 4-6 people with sight loss to work alongside RNIB staff.
The RNIB is looking for a maximum of six people and want to ensure representation is from varying ages and ethnicities.
Share your Experiences of Sport and Physical Activity
Sport England is running a project to help understand the lived experience of different people and communities when it comes to sport and physical activity. They want to know what the barriers are to people taking part, and if these barriers are different for people from different communities, backgrounds and lived experiences. They are very keen to hear from blind and partially sighted people about the barriers they might face too. They also want to know how these barriers could be removed and how Sport England could help.
Making Sexual Health Accessible
We know that it can be difficult to access information and support for sexual health when you have a visual impairment. The Terrence Higgins Trust want to make a positive change to sexual health in the UK. You could help to make that change by sharing your views and experiences (positive and negative) in a survey and be in with a chance to win one of three £100 Love2Shop vouchers or a luxury hamper.
