Hello and Welcome to Sight Life

Well we fooled some of you this morning with our Disco Chair Yoga April fool, although it certainly sounded like fun!

Our Chair yoga group met as always on static chairs, but instructor volunteer Roz managed to prank them all with a balloon breathing exercise!
Pictures of some of the group below.

Our groups and activities are no joke but great fun, and beneficial to members and volunteers wellbeing.

If it is Wednesday it must be time for Chair yoga!
This week participants will be trying Disco Chair Yoga at 11am today!
Wearing their best sparkly outfits or brightest lycra, members will be seated on swivel chairs to assist with the spinning around under a disco ball to the sounds of classic disco tunes!
As one member said "I'm really looking forward to it and I'm sure I will survive!"

The Rhondda Cynon Taff area and our members bid farewell to Sight Life’s 160 year in style with March bursting at the seams!
The Gatto lounge was the meeting point for our Chain Reaction 160 cycling event, where RCT members from our VIP, Aberdare Visionaries' and Young at Heart group all came out in force to support the cyclists and welcome them to Pontypridd. A special mention to RCT volunteer Tracey who started with the guitar group at Pedal Power Cardiff and then hot footed it on the train up to Ponty!
RCT was also very well represented at the 160 members' party celebrations in Cornerstone, Cardiff with lively singing, dancing and a fair few raffle wins for good measure!
Our digital collaboration with the RCT Work & Skills team and Age Connects Digi drop-in have continued through March with members benefitting from the 1 to 1 approach to build confidence and gain valuable new skills.
USW, Treforest hosted a Charity football tournament for Sight Life with students keen to support our wonderful charity in the future.
Our groups have had speakers on Lasting Power of Attorney, Hate crime & disability not to mention some competitive bingo and quizzes.
The Young at Heart group enjoyed another fantastic wellbeing session at Cambrian lakeside, this time focusing on Easter and the creation of an Easter wreath using decoupage techniques. Wellbeing coordinator Britt from CVT said “There's always such a buzz when the Young at Heart group come up. Everyone is so kind and keen to get stuck into whatever I throw their way. I love it”.
March also saw the first Sight Loss Council Local Action Group meeting of the Cwm Taf Morgannwg area in Pontypridd Museum. This was a brilliant opportunity for our members, as well as those from Bridgend and Merthyr, to share their lived experiences of sight loss to help shape local services.
Did you know that we have groups in Pontypridd, Aberdare, Pontyclun, Treorchy and a Young at Heart group?
