Socialising group for 16 to 24 year old 

Visibility Scotland is working with Freedom & Joy coaches to provide a series of group workshops. These sessions have a focus on socialising and for those aged 16 to 24 years with visual impairment. 

 

Aarti and Sharon are the Freedom & Joy Coaches . They will lead conversations about the challenges young visually impaired people have with socialising. Each group will provide an opportunity to identify solutions to these challenges in a fun, relaxed setting. These groups will be supportive and offer a unique environment to forge friendships, build confidence and empower the group to share new experiences.

 

The sessions will take place at Visibility Scotland’s headquarters at 2 Queen’s Crescent, Glasgow, G4 9BW from 7 PM to 9PM.
