Our Park Walk last month took place in , where we enjoyed a stroll along the Thames and explored the Trunks Across the Thames Art Trail. In the glorious sunshine, we were able to experience the elephant sculptures through touch and enjoy a lovely picnic together.

With sighted guides available to support those who needed assistance, the and people we support were able to get out and about, enjoy the beautiful weather and spend time socialising with others.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Last month, we had a fantastic day Bell Boating at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre. We paddled in unison to propel a twin-hulled canoe along the River Thames in glorious sunshine.

Working as a team and supported by sighted volunteers, the and people we support were able to fully enjoy the experience. Through clear communication, trust and cooperation, everyone played an important role in powering the boat and keeping it moving smoothly along the river. It was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy time together outdoors.

Opportunities to try new sports and build confidence are so important for people with a visual impairment, who can often face barriers to participation and inclusion.

Thank you to Sport England for supporting our adapted sports programme and helping improve access and build confidence.

For most children the summer holidays have been about adventure, freedom and fun, and cycling has often been at the heart of it. For children and young people who are or , however, getting on a bike isn't always straightforward.

But over the summer we've made sure that cycling is accessible. Through our partnership with Newbury Velo , the young people we support have enjoyed riding tandems and specially adapted bikes, experiencing the joy and excitement that cycling can bring, and most importantly they've been able to do it it with their family alongside them.

Our West Berks West group had a fantastic time at their social group this month. They enjoyed indoor games and freshly cooked fish and chips.

Our social groups are so important in helping to ensure that the and people we support don't feel or . They provide an opportunity to share experiences with others who understand their challenges in a supportive and welcoming environment.

When Judy lost her sight suddenly in 2024, everyday tasks became a challenge. With support from Berkshire Vision's Sight Loss Support Officers and the introduction of Meta smart glasses, Judy has regained confidence and independence. From reading mail to identifying ingredients while cooking, technology is helping Judy continue living life on her terms.
