The Watford Blind Centre is an independent self funded charity relying on donations to operate. We meet weekly in the centre of Watford at The Rene Milton Hall, which was named after our founder chairman and is owned by the charity. The centre is supported and led by a group of volunteers who are not carers or linked to the social services but individuals who enjoy working with others. Help and ad
vice can be provided about equipment and gadgets for blind and partially blind people. We are able to provide an opportunity to meet socially with those who have a similar disability and support our members with help and advice about equipment and gadgets for blind and partially blind. We welcome new members of any age who are blind or visually impaired and who are able bodied within Watford and the surrounding areas. Our weekly programme is as follows:
- Mondays 11-11.30am: Keep fit
- Mondays 11.30am-2pm: Various activities including knitting, scrabble, art, darts, cribbage, dominos, singing and drama
- Wednesdays 11am-2pm: Social meeting with various events and activities. Visits from schools, informative talks, visits from choirs, outings. Lunch is available
Outings
The members enjoy outings during the year to well known places such as hotels, garden centres, golf clubs and gardens for lunches or tea. Holidays
