Herbie Yon, regional area operations manager for the charity, said: “Action Connect enables people affected by sight loss to become involved in key aspects of Action for Blind People’s work.

“It also provides a forum for them to share their experiences and support each other through, often, traumatic experiences and anxiety about the future.” Action for Blind People’s regional team provides information and advice to communities across Lancashire and Cumbria.
