Massive thanks to BBC Children in Need for funding a new and very exciting role in UCAN Productions.

My name is Hannah Matthews, and I am UCAN’s new Peer to Peer Support Officer. I firstly want to thank UCAN for this amazing opportunity.  As a member who has grown with UCAN it is a pleasure to now work for them. I am hoping that I will be able to help inspire and support our young members, both existing and new, to get involved and become part of this amazing organisation. We provide a place where young people with sight loss and their friends can build new friendships, develop new skills through fun and interactive workshops, and just have fun and be creative along the way.

I look forward to working with the families and young people who would like to be involved and being a point of contact for any queries that arise. I am also going to be working with a range of professionals to allow more families and young people to benefit from the opportunities that UCAN has to offer.

Hope to hear from you all soon.
