UPDATE ON CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
Sight Village WALES:
Over the past few weeks we have been closely monitoring advice from the World Health Organisation, Public Health England and the Government to inform any decisions we make regarding Sight Village Wales event on 22nd April.
We are sure you will understand your health, safety and well-being is of the utmost importance to us and whilst it has not specifically been said that events and gatherings should be cancelled, we feel that due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19 and the uncertainty that surrounds the current situation, we have taken the decision to postpone this event until a later date.
We would like to reassure visitors that this is not a decision we have taken lightly and we still intend to run a Sight Village Wales event in the future.
We are unable to advise you of a new date at this time however we will be sure to inform you as soon as a new date has been secured.
We would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and support at this time and we hope that you can join us later in the year.
Sight Village CENTRAL:
We are closely monitoring advice from the World Health Organisation, Public Health England and the Government to inform any decisions we make regarding Sight Village Central in July and will post regular updates as and when decisions are made.
QAC Sight Village
This is an unmissable event for people who are blind or partially-sighted, for professionals supporting and advising VIPs and for all businesses and other organisations wishing to improve their services for the visually impaired.
QAC Sight Village is described as “The UK's Leading exhibition for blind and partially sighted people and for those experiencing sight problems” Each year thousands of people visit our events to find out at first hand the latest technology, products and support services available to people who are blind or partially sighted. Our exhibitors include charities, commercial companies and voluntary organisations from across the UK, Europe and the world. In addition to the main show in Central England, we host a number of roadshow events in cities such as London, Leeds, Manchester, Exeter and Cardiff. Admission is FREE to all our events.
Autism Central
Autism Central is an exhibition of products and services for people on the Autistic Spectrum and their families. We also welcome a large number of professionals to the event which is held in October each year. Admission to the event is FREE and there is an extensive programme of workshops and seminars throughout the day.
What the students say
Being a residential student has really helped me to become more independent – I do my own washing and I can cook with a bit of help from staff.
