A poetic welcome!

As we gradually transition from lockdown into the ‘new normal’, our member Bob uses poetry to share his experience and to cheer us up!

We are easing up, the Boris said,
Mandatory masks must cover your head
Not surgical one’s but home-made fayre,
Now come on Boris, are you aware.
Our members cannot see,
We are not a sewing bee,
Now come on lad, don’t be daft,
Us making masks, well maybe in craft,
But our club is closed, though very soon,
Its doors will reopen, what a boon!
Preparation is on the way,
Well that’s what she said, did Fay,
Our member are chomping at the bit,
Excitement is growing, so is my wit,
Our club will open soon, hurrah!
And we will come from near and far,
Our chums will come right through the door
When were at Bedford Hall once more!

We are very much looking forward to re-opening our offices in July 2020 in line with government guidelines.

Enjoy reading about our exciting programme of events to welcome you back!

Reflections on Diversity

 

‘Our lives begin to end the day that we become silent about things that matter’ (Martin Luther King Junior).

In the last edition of our Newsletter, we invited staff, volunteers and members to engage in constructive dialogue inspired by the work of the Black Lives Matter movement.

We would like to thank Sharon who has been in touch to inspire us with her insightful reflections:

‘I totally agree that all people should be treated the same regardless of their nationality. We are part of the universal creative force and therefore one family. I feel discrimination is ignorance, and it’s up to us to educate ourselves.

God has given us enormous potential. We can use this potential to improve our own lives and the lives of others. We have the ability to make decisions throughout our lives as we see fit. What each of us make of our life is our own personal responsibility. No one can replace or override that right. No other person or influence can put right our wrongdoings’.

Sharon’s words remind me of an excellent article by Ben Okri (Financial Times, Weekend 13/14 June 2020):

‘Something is in the air. Maybe the human race is growing up at last, refusing the horrible shackles of racism, rejecting all of its injustices. Black people and white people are joining forces in their monumental protests to rip this evil from our societies, our institutions, our hearts’.

Please stay in touch and let us know how you would like us to use recent events as a platform for constructive learnings across our community. Would you like to be part of future talks and educational events? Look forward to hearing from you!

Global Learnings

We ‘live and learn’, and this has been a very exciting month on the learning front.

We celebrated Small Charity Week (SCW) from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 June which was wonderful! This special week helped to raise awareness of the essential work of the UK’s charity sector with a focus on smaller organisations who make an invaluable contribution to the lives of millions of individuals, communities and causes around the UK and the rest of the world.

As I mentioned to the SCW organisers, this was my second week at Croydon Vision and I cannot think of a better way of honouring this event through my interaction with staff, volunteers and members. Thank you!

On Tuesday 16 June I reflected about empowerment and hope when listening to an excellent BBC Radio 4 programme called ‘Hearing Architecture’ (part of the Art of Now series). I was very inspired by the story of growth and resilience of Chris Downey, an American architect who re-invented himself as an innovative multi-sensory designer after experiencing sight loss in mid-career. Chris is driving architects and designers to re-think how we approach place-making and design by unlocking the opportunities offered when re-framing multi-sensory awareness. The programme is only 28 minutes in length and I highly recommend it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000k2lf

I have started to research the inspiring work of the American Association for the Blind (AFB) and their new role in the AbilityOne Programme, and will keep you posted! AFB’s new role represents an opportunity to build on the program’s successful track record. Since 1938, the AbilityOne Program has created employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired by providing products and services to the US federal government. More than 550 non-profit organisations participate, creating jobs that provide products and services to the federal government at a fair market price.

As shops all over the country start to re-open, I reminded myself that there is nothing like a real bookshop as it allows you to stumble into the strange and wonderful by sheer chance.

I’m loving the stunning collection of essays and photographs of ‘My heart is not blind: on blindness and perception’ by Michael Nye (Trinity University Press). I agree that ‘knowing what the world looks like is not a requirement or understanding’ as the author says. Each VI person he met when researching this book recognised how their condition had expanded their sense of compassion and magnified their awareness and abilities in ways they never thought possible.  What a magnificent book!

On SCW Fundraising Day (Thursday 18 June), Susanette and I attended a special Fundraising Conference via Zoom! This gave us the chance to learn, discuss and reflect upon key fundraising topics in our sector. Treating funders as people and proactively showing them our work in action are key to success. We are very much looking forward to continuing to invite Croydon Vision funders and partners to immerse themselves in our great work as we re-set our services post-lockdown.

As we learn together, it would be great if we could all start thinking about new fundraising events to help us grow whilst having fun! What about a special Purple Day to dial-up our message? We could either wear purple for a day or even dye our hair in purple! And why not bake and sell a massive purple berries cake in the local area? Are you up for that or do you have other cool ideas?

Please feel free to email your thoughts at Ines.C.Jager@croydonvision.org.uk or call me on our main number 0208 688 24 86.

Thank you! Let’s keep smiling and learning together.

More fun challenges for C&YP

It’s finally time to announce the winners of the Croydon Vision Tik Tok Challenge with Synergy Dance! Thank you to everyone that took part. You all did an amazing job!  It was a very hard decision but here are the winners.

Third place (bronze medal) for Croydon Vision staff: Fay, Katherine and Natasha who created a fun Tik Tok dance to the Macarena!

Second place (silver medal) goes to Ty who curated his very own Tik Tok dance to Tootsie and included visuals (such as rain) to his break dancing.

The first place and gold medal are for Clara! She performed a Tik Tok dance including popular moves from the Renegade and Savage dances. Her dance was fun, complicated and a pleasure to watch. After trying to learn a Tik Tok dance myself I know how difficult some of these moves are so well done to everyone who took part! 

New challenge alert! 

I have set our children and young people a travel challenge as we come out of lockdown. This will be a chance to learn more about travelling in and around London and Croydon whilst allowing creative juices to flow!

• Participants will design a picture or model of an automobile.
• They will also create fact sheet or audio recording explaining how the automobile works and how is it accessible for people with a visual impairment, hearing impairment, or physical disabilities.
• They will then use the TfL map to plan the quickest routes based on start and end destinations provided.

The deadline for this challenge is 1st August 2020. Prizes will be allocated on points. Please contact me on Korey.Knight@croydonvision.org.uk for further information.

TFL Transport Information

Talking about post-lockdown travel, TfL have said “When there are queues outside a station, customers who identify themselves as disabled should be allowed to enter the station without queueing.”

‘Turn up and go’ service:

TfL are committed to continuing to offer customers a ‘turn up and go’ service. However, they need to make some changes to protect everyone’s health. Our staff need to maintain a distance of 2 metres at all times. This means that if a visually impaired person requests customer assistance, TfL staff will arrange a taxi to take them to their destination station. We will maintain a two-metre distance when supporting customers with a mobility impairment (for example, by providing manual boarding ramps). In situations where face coverings make communication difficult, TfL staff will use written messages on paper, whiteboards or mobile devices. Running tethers will hopefully be used for guiding soon.

Face coverings:

From Monday 15^th June, face coverings must be worn by those who can for their entire journey. Exemptions for the use of face coverings will apply to those with certain health conditions, disabled people and children under the age of 11. Children under the age of 3 should not wear them. TfL will be giving out free face coverings at stations.

TfL serving disabled customers:

TfL’s Independent Disability Advisory Group now meets weekly so they can respond to issues quickly. Feedback already implemented includes face coverings, ‘turn up and go’ service and ‘street scape’ (smarter urban design with new extended pavements). For more information, please go to https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility/help-from-staff. Alternatively, please call us on 0208 688 24 86 and we will do our best to help.

 

Information & Advice

From July 1^st all Information & Advice and Resource Centre initial assessments and appointments will be taken over the phone. After this, any matters that need a face-to-face appointment will then be booked. There will be a maximum of 2 people allowed per room in the Low Vision Room and the Resource Centre at any one time.

To book a telephone appointment, please call the office on 0208 688 2486. Look forward to receiving your call.

Urgent Help:
If you or a member of your family are vulnerable, high risk or in need of urgent support, Croydon Council may be able to help you with shopping, medication, keeping active, connecting with local groups and supporting your mental health.

You can get in contact via phone on 02086047787, or send an email to covid19support@croydon.gov.uk. Alternatively, please visit their website on www.croydon.gov.uk/coronavirus.

can have £20 worth of fresh food and other groceries for £3.50 per week. Please contact gcc@croydon.gov.uk.

Further Support:

Croydon Voluntary Action is connecting you to your local community. Information such as help with shopping, food parcels, meals, food banks and activities in the community can be found at cvalive.org.uk/coronavirus/ 020 8253 7076 or 07540 720 102.

Please contact me on Danielle.Cleary@croydonvision.org.uk with your feedback and questions.

Working Age On The Up

The Working Age Project has experienced tremendous growth in the last two years. It has transformed itself from primarily being a social group run on Wednesdays to becoming a fully-fledged weekly project with tangible impact.

The group has demonstrated its agility and capacity to adapt through COVID-19. It has creatively adjusted to new ways of working whilst encouraging and supporting everyone involved.

We have set up alternative ways to keep in contact and still have a weekly spot to talk about technology, exercise and, most importantly, for goal-setting and journaling our experiences.

One of the great results of the project is watching members grow in their talents, skills and potential by taking ownership of new goals and driving their own progress forward. It is a credit to the project that many of its members have gone into volunteering or employment. As described by Maxine Plowden, ‘the working age group was instrumental in assisting me with job searches and securing employment, and I found the group to be very friendly’.

On the return of services at Croydon Vision in July, the group will be working on themes such as adjusting your interview techniques, how to job search in the current climate, how to travel with physical distancing rules, and other topical subjects. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage members to participate in activities at Bedford Hall and look out for the Working Age social media events.

As part of our process of continuous learning and growth, perhaps we can also explore free courses at Open Learn and Future Learn: https://www.open.edu/openlearn/ and https://www.futurelearn.com/

Please contact me on Jennifer.Smith@croydonvision.org.uk with your feedback and questions.

 

Empowerment Through Tech

Gadgets encourage experimentation

While watching one of our Facebook Live events a member, Evelyn, realised she needed a new Liquid Level Indicator. She requested it during the event, paid for it over the phone and it was delivered to her with her next lunch order. Evelyn is happy that she can continue to be safe and independent. Well done, Evelyn!

Zoom drives personal growth

Graham had been invited to many Zoom events and wanted to be able to attend. He had followed the instructions given to him by friends, but none were working for him.

He phoned Croydon Vision and experimented with different methods of attending Zoom events until he found the one that suited him. Graham is very pleased that he has been able to attend virtual coffee mornings and talks, and is continuously learning. Cool stuff!

Technology promotes independence

Ann has used our IT tuition service and has transformed herself from someone who didn’t know how to use her computer to using Skype and shopping online. Wow!

During the lockdown it has been especially useful to order her shopping online, but she had to update her card details and needed guidance as this was new to her. I was able to remotely access her computer and talk her through the steps to updating her card details. She is now shopping with confidence and has been able to update her card details on other sites.

I am available for telephone appointments and for some home visits. To get advice, book an appointment or visit please call in on 020 8688 2486 extension number 5.

Our Creative Force

‘A Mini Trooping the Colour’ by Anna Smith, Outreach Officer:

The sun shone brightly. The castle looked majestic. The 1^st Battalion of the Welsh Guards dressed in their ceremonial uniforms looked splendid and the Queen was radiant. This event, held at Windsor Castle on the 13^th June, has been described as a ‘Mini Trooping the Colour’.

This annual event that has been held for over 260 years to celebrate the British Sovereign’s official birthday was severely scaled back. Gone were the cheering crowds, carriages, horses and RAF flyover. A new marching manoeuvre, called ‘feathering’, had been designed to allow the participants to remain socially-distanced.

There is light at the end of the tunnel as we all slowly come out of lockdown and enter the ‘new normal’. It would have been so easy to just cancel Trooping the Colour this year. Instead, people worked hard to enable the event to happen on a smaller scale. It required creative and imaginative thinking, not giving into fear and showing determination. It has given hope and encouragement to many people and has shown that small scale events can now safely take place.

We are aware at Croydon Vision that the last three months have been very difficult for our members. We have done our utmost to reach out to you and adapt our services through innovation and creativity. Many of you have not been able to leave your home or see close family. Some of you have expressed how bored and frustrated you feel. I want to encourage you that there is light at the end of the tunnel for you as well.

We are looking forward to seeing some of you in July. The staff have fully assessed the risks and are getting the building ready for members to return.

By working together, Croydon Vision’s opening will be as smooth and organised as the ‘Mini Trooping the Colour’.

Mayor of Croydon Fundraiser

Due to COVID-19 the Mayor of Croydon is unable to hold his major 2020 Gala Dinner. The Mayor has decided to do one last fundraiser for his chosen charities in conjunction with four local restaurants (Chat House, Urban Guj, Bagatti’s and Zafran) with an opportunity for you to have a conversation with him as a final farewell before he leaves his post.

This creative idea means that there will be a set menu and 15% of the total proceeds will go to the Mayor’s charities which are Croydon Vision, Mind in Croydon, Apasen International, Ashdon Jazz Academy and Croydon Refugee Day Centre.

Once you have placed an order, you can request a code from the restaurant which will enable you to join the Mayor for a conversation on Sunday 5^th July 2020 via Zoom for 30 minutes. How it will work:

• Place an order at your preferred restaurant mentioning ‘The Mayor’s Charity Gala Diner’ and request a code.
• Receive delicious food.
• Email: kabir@croydon.gov.ukwith your code for a link to join the Mayor for a conversation.

Zoom timings for a conversation with the Mayor on Sunday 5^th July:

• Chat House: 6.30 – 7pm
• Urban Guj: 7 – 7.30pm
• Bagatti’s: 7.30 – 8pm
• Zafran: 8 – 8.30pm 

You can try a menu from these four restaurants multiple times. Food can be ordered anytime from now until Sunday 5^th July 2020. Please contact us if you would like to receive further information on these carefully chosen restaurants and the menus.

Mr Mayor hopes you will help him fundraise one last time and join him for a final farewell as Mayor. Please share with your friends and networks, as Croydon Vision is at the centre of this fundraiser!

Transforming Lives

Danielle Cleary has shared a compelling example of service impact:

A member contacted me with a problem. Their boiler had broken down and the Council had told her that they could not replace it until August. This was highly inappropriate as the member has extra health conditions, which meant that they should not be carrying boiling water around.

I took immediate action and liaised with the Sensory Impairment Team who were able to support the member internally, making the positive commitment to replace her boiler much earlier than initially planned.

The member in question now has full use of hot water in her house and is ‘very grateful for the help received’. This has made a ‘massive difference’ to her life.

Our recent Facebook talk on Eye Health by Ketan Jadeja, Trustee at Croydon Vision and Optometrist at Moorfields Eye Hospital London, was a real success. Ketan’s expertise in glaucoma, commitment to raising awareness on eye health and reducing blind registrations was evident and inspired great feedback from attendees, including comments such as:

‘so important and noble to be helping people with impaired vision’, ‘brilliant and with lots of good information’, ‘helpful and informative’, ‘mind blowing’ and ‘fantastic’.

The Facebook Stretches Session promoting exercise by Synergy Dance also sparked positive responses:

‘Love the breathing exercises, really relaxing’, ‘cool’ and ‘really good’!

Connect & Engage

In our June Part 2 Newsletter we heard from Sarah Woolley, our Talking News Presenter. Sarah made an excellent suggestion to try to increase member interaction and engagement with Talking News. If you have any topics in mind or any improvements, please get in contact on 0208 68 824 86, volunteering@croydonvision.org.uk or tweet her @SarahWoolley.

The Village

We are keen to continue interacting and engaging with other communities beyond Croydon Vision. On that note, Simon Doy, co-founder of a social activity audio site called The Village, reached out to us to share his insights and encourage joint learnings:

‘Members of The Village socialise via an easy to install and accessible chat client called Team Talk. We run a full daily schedule of social events hosted by our members: games and quizzes, general chat sessions, music and chat, audio-described movies, TV, radio, documentaries and much more!’

Many people make good friends and there is a considerable amount of support available. We are a diverse community with members from all over the world. What makes The Village special is its general ethos of being kind, compassionate, friendly, with a passion for accessibility, diversity, and non-discrimination’.

Membership of The Village is completely free and open to people with a degree of sight loss or those who are close to someone with visual impairments. We are keen to continue to expand, as this helps us to put on more events, with even greater variety, thus giving all our members even more choice.

For many VI people, the internet is a liberating place and becoming a member of a site like The Village can only open up new horizons. Please contact us if you would like to receive further information and share with others too: admin@thevillage.groups.io . Look forward to hearing from you! ‘
