Finding Out What It Feels Like To Be Blind

11 members of one of our Year 8 Co-Curricular Clubs are supporting our neighbours, the ‘Blind Veterans’, by participating in a sponsored visual impairment.

Roedean girls undertaking this challenge want to support this charity by raising awareness of the challenges those with blindness and visual impairment live with every day, and to raise essential funds for their various initiatives.

In addition, it will be a fantastic opportunity for the students to experience sight loss from the perspective of the impaired, generating empathy and understanding. The students will share their experiences and be able to educate our school community about what it feels like to be blind or visually impaired. 

Wearing goggles that imitate various levels of visual impairment, the students will commit to the challenge for between one to four hours. They will record their experiences and reflect on what they have learnt at the conclusion.
