Winston Churchill Fellowship Report

In September 2012 UCAN Productions Co-founder and Development Director Jane Latham traveled to America on a Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship with the aim of developing new and lasting links with schools, colleges and organisations that support visually impaired young people in America.

Jane first visited Perkins School for the Blind, the oldest school for the blind in the United States. “The Perkins School is an inspirational place which pays homage to the history of pioneering work done to support blind and partially sighted people in the past and at the same time forges ahead with the use of new and amazing technologies.”
