We are currently working with a diverse group of individuals with varying degrees of visual impairment, from sight-impaired to severely sight-impaired, who share a passion for arts and crafts. Our exploration includes a variety of artistic forms such as painting and weaving. To enhance these sessions, we are seeking a volunteer who can customise activities to meet the specific needs of our service users, incorporating a variety of creative options to ensure an engaging and inclusive experience.
We have some materials available, but we may be able to provide more depending on the cost.
