In Touch

Available for over a year

Richard Leaman, CEO of Blind Children UK, talks about the charity's recent research findings that there is a 9 per cent increase in the number of children being registered blind and explains how the charity plans to address the problems associated with this, in particular the mobility of these children. Author Red Szell is fed up with being 'pushed around' and bemoans the fact that he is too often offered a wheelchair rather than appropriate assistance.
