Back to Sight Village: Our Joyful Return!

Colin being interviewed at Sight Village.

Plus: Catch our founder Colin Fowler’s interview on the See Saw Podcast

Introduction

On July 17th & 18th, the highly anticipated Sight Village event returned in the vibrant city of Birmingham, and we found it to be an immense success! We met both familiar and new attendees, who gathered to celebrate and explore the latest innovations and support available to the visually impaired community.

Our Stand & Presentation

We had the pleasure of hosting our own stand, and the positive response we received from visitors was overwhelming. It’s clear the need for our service is stronger than ever. We found the opportunity to connect with people who share our passion for enhancing and supporting the lives of the visually impaired community was one we can’t thank Sight Village enough for creating.

We also had the honor of conducting a well-received presentation, brilliantly hosted by our founder, Colin Fowler. Colin’s enthusiasm and expertise captivated the audience as he delved into the various features and benefits our services have to offer. Check out the PowerPoint presentation here!

The See Saw Podcast

During our two days spent at Sight Village, we had the privilege of catching the attention of the See Saw Podcast, a show started in 2020 “with the aim of giving a different perspective on Disability and Visual Impairment.” They kindly offered to feature us in their podcast with an interview, an opportunity fully embraced.

Colin, once again, shone as he artfully described the essence of our organization and the ways in which our services are transforming the lives of the disabled individuals.

If you missed the chance to attend Sight Village, or wish to relive the experience, fear not! The See Saw Podcast has kindly shared the interview recording with us, which can be listened to here!

We also would absolutely recommend checking out the other work the See Saw Podcast have carried out which includes more interviews with inspiring services and people.

Conclusion

Sight Village once again left a lasting impression on all those who attended, us included. We are immensely grateful for the support and encouragement we received during the event.

Our deepest thanks goes to Queen Alexandra College (QAC) for providing us with the opportunity to participate and engage with such an inspiring community. Additionally, we thank the See Saw Podcast for their interest in our journey and for amplifying our mission through their podcast.
