Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB)
Today, we were so lucky to have a visit from Becky and Carl from the RNIB. We learnt about; how blind and partially sighted people see the world around them, how to be helpful to blind and partially sighted people and some simple ways you can make the world more friendly for everyone.
We learnt how to safely guide someone who is partially sighted and tried on various glasses to get a sense of what a partially sighted person my experience.
Carl shared with us his experience and he showed us his guiding sticks. It was fascinating talking to him and asking him questions.
