“The charity helps a lot of people across Bedfordshire who are visually impaired. We will hopefully plan more fun events like this in the future.”

The charity’s volunteer coordinator, Mark Chapman, said: “It has been great to have the Summer School on board for the past two weeks, organising events and raising awareness about the visually impaired community in Bedfordshire.

“The determination and energy of young volunteers makes an enormous difference to Sight Concern’s members and regular staff, as well as being a fun and rewarding experience.”
