Welcome to the 'Talking' Travel Peer Support Group where we invite you to come and share your experiences, tips and hints around all things Travel at our bi-monthly meetings, from going on holidays to general every day getting about.

We're pleased to invite you to join group facilitators Richard and Rachael Zimbler for our latest 'Talking' Travel Peer Support Group meeting where we are delighted to welcome our guest speakers Dee Jones & Steve Hayward, Trustees at Sense Adventures, a charity that provides guided activity days and short break holidays for the blind and visually impaired.

Sense Adventures is a charity offering affordable walking short break holidays for the blind and visually impaired as well as day walks on the Malvern Hills. The holidays take place in a variety of locations including Malvern, Devon this November, the Gower in South Wales and South Lakes in 2027. Trained sighted volunteers join the groups and walk on a one-to-one basis with the blind walkers as well as joining the group for the duration of the holidays. The groups are around 9 V.I’s and 11 sighted volunteers. The emphasis is on enjoying a sociable experience with fun and friendly groups. Guide dogs are welcome. Founder, Dee is herself visually impaired and started Sense Adventures drawing on her own experience of sight loss.

Please come along to hear from Dee & Steve and feel free to ask any questions you may have about the activities and breaks they can offer. We also welcome you to come and share any mobility advice, information or tell us about any travel experiences or V.I holidays that you have enjoyed in the past and would like to recommend.

Richard and Rachael are happy to answer any questions or queries you may have around travel, holidays or getting out and about in general so please feel free to come and have a chat with them and the group for any support you may need.

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there!
