You may know the glamour. You may know the dresses. You may have seen him on stage.

But how well do you know the man behind it all?

Afternoon Tea with Ceri Dupree is your chance to get a little closer - hearing the stories, asking the questions and enjoying an afternoon of conversation and laughter with Ceri himself.

No big stage. Just Ceri, fabulous company, afternoon tea and, we suspect, rather a lot of laughs.

Sunday 18 October | Cornerstone Cardiff

Sight Loss Awareness Training with Right at Home Cardiff & Newport

We recently had the pleasure of delivering our Sight Loss Awareness Training to the team at @rightathomecardiffnewport, helping care professionals gain a greater understanding of the challenges faced by people living with sight loss.

During the session, attendees learned about common eye conditions, the impact sight loss can have on daily life, and practical ways to provide effective support. Through the use of simulation spectacles, participants experienced first-hand some of the challenges associated with sight loss while carrying out everyday tasks such as reading labels, identifying items, and navigating their surroundings.

The activities sparked some great discussions and highlighted the importance of communication, understanding, and person-centred support. Attendees also learned guiding techniques and key considerations when assisting someone with a visual impairment.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to such an engaging and informative session. By working together, we can help create more inclusive and accessible communities for people with sight loss.
