S2 Ep499: Outlook Trust - Adventure Sports Activities for Blind and Partially Sighted Children


Listen Later

The Outlook Trust was set up in 2000 to offer adventure sports and activity weekends and holidays for young blind and partially sighted people with activities ranging from sailing, rock climbing, zip wires and much more all from their base on the shores of Lake Windermere. 

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Jeff Davies from the Outlook Trust to firstly give a bit of background to the setup of the trust, then highlight the range of activities on offer to blind and partially sighted young people.  

Jeff then talked about how all the activities that the Outlook Trust offer are facilitated and supported by trained instructors and support staff before ending with some of the feedback they have had from young visually impaired people who have attended their weekends and holidays.
