We visited St Vincent’s School in Liverpool where the children have been dubbed Climate Heroes for their work toward climate action. The visually impaired pupils have been doing their bit to ease the environmental crisis, by planting and growing their own produce and handing it out to their local community, by writing stories to encourage and influence discussions about climate change and they've been thinking up ways technology can reduce our carbon footprint. They've undergone various climate related projects this year, and some of their pupils even attended the COP26 summit in Glasgow. We hear about all of these.
Join in the In Touch Christmas party, where we speak to comedian Jamie MacDonald, jazz and soul singer Katriona Taylor and musical couple Denise Leigh and Stefan Andrishin who tease out a few of the challenges of Christmas as blind or visually impaired people. They share festive anecdotes, jokes and Katriona treats us with some festive tunes.
Presenter: Peter White
