A Healthier Croydon

– We are introducing quarterly themes this year; themes have been carefully selected following members, volunteers and staff suggestions. These themes are all very important aspects of our individual lives and that of the community. Staff, volunteers and members are getting involved in spreading awareness of the topics and actively taking part with the theme activities, which are:

 Health and Wellbeing

1. Fundraising –  (see our Fundraising Initiatives under support us)
2. Opening up Croydon for sight loss – Community Awareness
3. Mental Health Awareness

Our First theme, Health and Wellbeing will start in February. We have chosen this as our first theme as this is one that affects every single person and is even more so important for those with Visual Impairments. You can get involved in many ways.

• Experience a new skill or hobby – members, volunteers and staff are all being encouraged to work individually or as a group to work towards learning a new skill, hobby or to achieve something that they would like to. To get involved and to request support in achieving you’re own experience please contact reception. Look out in the March newsletter for some of the chosen experiences.
• You could join one of our groups – We hold active groups; including keep fit, yoga and Dance as well as Creative classes including art, crafts and pottery.
• Join an active class outside of Croydon Vision – There are many clubs and organisations that run activities for the visually impaired, try metro blind sport.
• Take part in a group organised health walk
• You can make your own way by public transport or even start with getting off a stop earlier
• We are looking to get Croydon Vision re-usable shopping bags to help with reducing waste

Keep an eye out for more information in the member’s bulletin, newsletter, website and talking news and please share with us how you are getting involved we would love to hear your stories!

Fundraising Initiatives

Dear Members & Volunteers,

In 2019, we developed key fundraising targets. I am pleased to say we exceeded our expectations. We raised money for a dishwasher, rails at the back of Bedford hall, evacuation chairs, tactile tiling in the courtyard which is coming soon and a MPV – Kilimanjaro challenge.

We know you can’t give to every organisation – however, if you only give once a month, please consider giving; to support and enable more people with sight loss. The following are goals we can achieve together:

Short Term:

Item	Cost (Approx.)
Fire Proof Glass in Kitchen – reduce risks	£1,000
Improving Bedford Hall lobby area	£1,500
Improved Barrier at Courtyard – reduce risks	£4,500
Talking News Equipment – audio for VI	£5,500
Braille Embosser – promoting/access to braille	£12,500

 

Long Term:

Item	Cost (Approx.)
A Community Working Hub(IT) for Members	£45,500
Getting Information in your Language & Comms Officer	£50,000
Minibus Replacement of Aged Fleet  *3	£150,000
Sustained Community Outreach Service (3yrs)	£195,000
Lift & Building Enhancement – Accessibility	£219,000

Some ideas on how you can fundraise for Croydon Vision (CV):

• Elect CV as charity to your local supermarkets or department store
• Fundraising through family and friends – Geranium, Scafell Pike
• Participate at events whereby we will be raising funds – see p9
• Donate to us (in person or through just giving) – every little helps

Thank you in advance for supporting this Vision – Susanette Mansour

Croydon Big Conversation 2030

Croydon Big Conversation aims to get feedback from people across the borough about their vision for 2030. They are an independent research and engagement company supporting the Council with this work. As part of this Big Conversation, they are hoping to get feedback from as many different community groups as possible so that any future decisions can reflect and meet the needs of all local people. 

They have highlighted 6 key topics to talk about:

• Culture at the heart of regeneration
• Decent homes for all
• Safe and secure communities
• Jobs and the economy
• Caring for each other
• Creating a sustainable Croydon

There are a few different ways in which you can get involved. They are:

• Two online surveys in which you can complete one for adults and one for young people If you need assistance in completing the form please enquire at reception.
• A discussion, which will be held at CV in one of our Time to Talk sessions, where we will discuss the topics and put our ideas forward.
• Forums that you can get involved in and post your views.

The website where you can find the surveys and forums is as followed

https://bigconversation.croydon.gov.uk/

Please contact reception or your group leaders if you would like to get involved. 

Making Music Together Group

After the fun that was had at our Christmas Party, there was a suggestion to form a group where we can make music together. We thought that was a great idea!

The first session of this new group will happen on Monday 2^nd March between 1:30 and 3pm. If you would like to come along please inform Reception.

Children and Young People 

Introducing the 2020 club

This year the children and young people’s project will be launching the 2020 club. Which is a group for young people aged 14 and above. We are providing a space for our members to gain independence, change makers, responsibility and have more fun than you can imagine. We will be doing activities (without parents). These ambassadors will be able to liaise with me and help be the communication between the members of the 2020 club and myself. It’s an opportunity to gain valuable skills, which will benefit largely for college, work, and university applications. 

Young people’s diaries 

We are starting the young people’s diaries on our website. Children and/or siblings are able to contribute towards the young people’s diary by writing a paragraph about their visual impairment, or about how they are benefitting from the Croydon Vision services. Alternatively, it could be about something they’ve done recently that they are really proud of, or something new they’ve achieved. We are looking forward to getting some insight into our Children and Young People’s lives. 

Half Term Events 

Sunday 2^nd February – 2020 club event

Monday 17^th February – Stadium tour of Crystal Palace football club

TBC – Pancake Day themed cooking event

Wednesday 19^th February – Travel Workshop (see p13 for more details)

Information and Advice

Disabled Band Reduction Scheme

You may be eligible for this scheme if you live in a larger property than you would need if you or another occupant were not disabled. You’ll have to show that you’ve had either: an extra bathroom, kitchen or other room that you need for the disabled person or extra space inside the property for using a wheelchair

The property must be the main home of at least 1 disabled person. This can be an adult or a child – it does not have to be the person responsible for paying the Council Tax.

If you are losing your sight or have an eye condition, you may need to carry out improvements, repairs or adaptations to your home to help you continue to live independently there. You might be able to receive financial help towards the cost of these changes.

Outdoor adaptations

There are a number of repairs and improvements you can make to the outside of your home to help you get around, including:

• Repairing trip hazards such as a broken path or fencing.
• Maintaining the garden to ensure that plants are not overgrown and causing an obstruction. This might involve removing weeds from between paving stones or cutting back hedges.
• Improving the lighting around your front and back doors, especially near the locks or keyholes.
• Installing an entry phone system so you can find out who is visiting before answering the door.
• Fitting door handles which are easy to see and grasp.

If you would like more information into these service or assistance with adaptations please book an appointment with the Information and Advice Officer via reception. Available for bookings from Tuesday to Thursday. 

John Ebubedike – Information and Advice Officer

Working Age

In the Working Age Group, a subject that comes up frequently is the types of skills needed in the workplace. Employers will look for a variety of skills depending on the role in question and as a visually impaired person, you can sometimes feel overwhelmed. Masha is one of our new members of the Working Age Group, as a visually impaired parent she discussed the skills in which she has learnt in her everyday life that can be transferred into the work place.

‘I have really enjoyed coming to the Working Age Group, especially meeting new people who are in a similar situation as I am. The working Age Group has helped me to grow my confidence and I am now at a place where I want to get into some voluntary work for experience.

Being a parent, particularly a VI parent, I have realised that I already have many skills that can be transferred into a voluntary role. I prepare, cook and clean for my children on a daily basis. As a VI parent, I have learnt to adapt to my surrounding and learnt different techniques of doing things. I have gained great organisational skills by putting together routines and activities and my communication skills have improved greatly. I have also gained budgeting and time keeping skills by having to stick to deadlines and organising the monthly income’

For someone who is not sure about applying for work or voluntary work, take a moment to reflect on how you live your everyday life and you may be surprised about the skills that you have; or that you unknowingly are developing. Self-confidence and a pro-active attitude is the way forward.

Talking News

One of our Working Age Members Lauren Crisp has just started volunteering with Croydon Visions Talking News. Lauren is very passionate about music and each week he will be choosing a song for all our listeners to hear and enjoy, so make sure you stay tuned!

A reminder that payment for the renewal of the Talking News subscription was due in January. The Subscription costs £10 for the year and payment can be made via cheque, cash or card. If we do not receive payment for your renewal, this may cause a delay in receiving your Talking News. If you need assistance or clarification, please call reception on 02086882486

Reaching Our Community

 Helping With Alexa

With our Outreach service in place, it allows me to go into members’ homes to show them different products and help them with IT matters. 

Sometimes trying an item in our resource centre doesn’t give you the full picture of whether or not it is the right item for you. I recently went out to demonstrate an Alexa device to someone in their own home, this allowed us to see where they were thinking of positioning the device, making sure, it had a power socket and that it was Wi-Fi accessible. I suggested the member try out different sitting areas in the room to see how responsive Alexa would be.

The member found Alexa easy to use, however it was realised that the machine doesn’t actually do everything as expected.

IT Sessions from Home

I also had the opportunity to go out and start teaching one of our younger members, Abdullah, a member of the children and young people’s project, he has been in to see us about his braille note taker, but has recently found that he is starting to fall behind with his schoolwork.

I visited him to start some sessions on how to use his computer, because he already does many of the things needed on his smartphone, he found the transition to a computer easier than expected. Abdullah is looking forward to my next visit so that we can build on the basic skills learnt in session 1.

If you are unable to bring your Computer into Croydon Vision, for assessment, a visit can be arranged, as well as IT lessons at home.

If you would like for me to demonstrate something in your home so that you can get a better idea of the suitability of the item please phone reception to make a booking.

Katherine Turner – Resource Centre Manager

Outreach and Progression

It has been a busy month for the Outreach and Progression team. I have continued to visit the local Croydon opticians spreading awareness of our outreach service. Visiting opticians and GPs is something that is an ongoing process as we look to extend our outreach as far as possible in the borough, to reach as many visually impaired people as possible.

In January, I attended my first home visit to a lovely 95 year old lady. There are a few different reasons that prevented her from coming to Bedford Hall and using the facilities, but the main reason is her confidence. We spoke about the different ways in which Croydon Vision could help her and went through an assessment form. She was very happy that I was able to come and visit. I will be visiting her again and helping her to ultimately, at her own pace, come into CV

Anna Smith Outreach and Progression Officer

The outreach project has been in action for over 3 months now and in that time the amount of referrals we have received has grown steadily, as a result CV is now at the stage where we can recruit volunteers who will assist with the befriending, keeping in touch and other services that need additional support. If you are interested in volunteering with the Outreach project please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.

As part of my role, I have been out to visit existing members who are unable to visit CV for a variety of reasons. These members were able to tell me that having a visit and update on not only their group activities but also about the changes at CV has kept that bond and consistency with the organisation.

I have also been able to assist members with attending their hospital and GP appointments, I was able to advocate on a person’s behalf and support them with getting their voice heard. It is such a privilege and pleasure to be able to contribute to member’s well-being.

Jennifer Smith – Outreach and Progression Officer

Over 65s

Dementia Awareness

Dementia mainly affects people over the age of 65 (one in 14 people in this age group have dementia), and the likelihood of developing dementia increases significantly with age.

The word ‘dementia’ describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem solving or language. These changes are often small to start with, but for someone with dementia they have become severe enough to affect daily life. A person with dementia may also experience behaviour changes.

Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by diseases. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, but not the only one. The specific symptoms that someone with dementia experiences will depend on the parts of the brain that are damaged and the disease that is causing the dementia.

There are a number of ways in which you can reduce the risk of developing dementia. Here are 3 of the main points to consider.

1. Be physically active – It is important to find a way of exercising that works for you. At CV we have; Bowls on a Monday morning, Keep Fit on a Tuesday morning and Yoga on a Wednesday afternoon.
2. Exercise your mind – Regularly challenging yourself mentally seems to build up the brains ability to cope with the disease. CV has a number of Social Group running throughout the week, which incorporate a number of different mental exercise and challenges.
3. Eating a healthy diet – A healthy balanced diet will help reduce the risk of dementia as well as other conditions such as heart disease.

For more information on dementia and how to get support you can contact the National Dementia Helpline on 0300 222 1122 or get in contact with the Alzheimer’s Society on 0330 333 0804 or visit their website www.alzheimers.org.uk
