Centre of the signature is the Fight for Sight logo. The logo resembles and eye and an eyelid. The shape of the eyelid curves upwards and resembles the shape of arms outstretched. Together the elements represent the charity’s mission to: Save Sight. Change Lives.

It was a real honour to host Vis-Ability in Parliament with @fightforsightUK, a UK first bringing together blind and visually impaired leaders. Opportunities to showcase our success stories don’t come around very often & the evening was about breaking down barriers.

Many individuals with visual impairments feel uncertain about visiting blue and #GreenSpaces. 🌳 We’re working with partners to identify and remove the barriers that stop people enjoying the benefits of nature. Learn more here: naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2… 📷 @RamblersGB

His colleague is wearing a blue rain jacket and has his hands in his jean pockets. He is also smiling. The trees in the woods don’t have any leaves and it appears to be a chilly day.
