The last of the lip reading classes with Jill is this evening from 4.00pm-6.00pm. These classes are open to anyone, though they can be particularly helpful for people who have lost their hearing in some capacity or might have audio processing issues.

On Tuesday our book group will be meeting to discuss The Pearl by John Steinbeck and Blue Above the Chimneys by Christine Marion Fraser. This group meets both in person and online from 10am-11am on the third Tuesday of the month. Open to all, we source our books from RNIB talking books and local libraries. This group will pause for July and return in August when we will be discussing ‘Hunting Icarus’ by blind author Gordon Anthony.
Also on Tuesday we will be hosting our very own comic book event! Sara has been working with Windsor Park to develop a climate comic which will be showcased here at the centre. This event is fully accessible with audio description and interpretation available. The children will give a short presentation and then there will be the opportunity to explore their storyboards and hear a bit about their development process. There will also be other stands at the event relating to us here at the centre and the environment. This will run from 1pm-3pm.
The IT classes are on this Tuesday at 1pm-3pm and 3pm-5pm, and Friday 1pm-3pm. These classes will be winding down for the summer next week, but if you are interested in learning more about IT, including accessibility around tablets and phones, please get in touch. Classes cost £5.
