About Rainbow Group - Live Well with Sight Loss
The Live Well with Sight Loss podcast brings you honest, informative, and inspiring talks about navigating life with visual impairment. Each month, we invite expert guests to share their knowledge, personal experiences, and practical advice during our live Zoom sessions, which are later released as audio episodes. From medical insights on conditions like Charles Bonnet Syndrome, Macular Degeneration, and Glaucoma to practical skills such as cooking without sight and optimising lighting, our diverse topics address the full spectrum of visually impaired living. We explore innovative treatments like gene therapy, discuss essential health considerations for conditions like diabetes, and highlight the creative and sporting achievements of visually impaired artists, poets, comedians and athletes. Whether you're personally affected by sight loss, supporting someone who is, or working in the field, our podcast offers valuable information, emotional support, and a sense of community. Join our growing audience as we navigate the challenges, celebrate the triumphs, and discover new possibilities in living well with sight loss. Our History In March 2020, with the country in lockdown due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, 5 local sight loss charities faced the problem of how to help relieve the isolation faced by many blind and partially sighted people, made even worse by the restrictions in force due to the Pandemic. The idea to hold a series of virtual events, where experts in various aspects of sight loss were invited to give a talk via the Zoom video conferencing platform, was born. In 2021, Visionary, an umbrella organisation that supports local sight loss charities, awarded the project its Rainbow Award. The Rainbow Award “highlights the organisations and individuals who have been a Rainbow in the pandemic, through being open and generous; sharing knowledge, challenges, their staff and practical information and examples of what has worked for them.” This is why we're called the Rainbow Group The 5 Local Charities are:- Sight Advice South Lakes - Cumbria My Sight Notts - Nottingham sight airedale - Airedale area, North and West Yorkshire Support 4 Sight - Mid & West Essex Sutton Vision - London Borough of Sutton Outlookers - Huddersfield, West Yorkshire Talks take place on the 2nd Thursday of the Month via Zoom starting at 10am.
