Workshops at New Super School

For the first time the UCAN team ran workshops in Ysgol Bae Baglan in Neath Port Talbot for young people with sight loss.  The project was very well attended and we are all looking forward to the next time we visit.

Future Insight Project

The team had a fantastic week at Milford Haven School as part of the RNIB Cymru’s project Future Insight. The team spent a week creating a performance, which was shared on the last day with pupils, family and friends.

Future Insight Workshops

The UCAN team ran workshops for young people in the Torfaen areas as part of the RNIB Future Insight Project. The workshops, which are funded by the Big Lottery proved to be very popular and the team is looking forward to going back again very soon.

Makes Sense

UCAN created two performances for the “Makes Sense’ Campaign which is designed to help people with sensory loss receive better services from the Welsh NHS.   From this month, GP surgeries in Wales are being asked to identify and record the information and communication needs of their patients with sensory loss issues. The system will give GP surgery staff the tools they need to meet a patients’ needs, such as how to generate letters in large print and add prompts to medical records.
