Lake District, Handling Mean Comments, & Accessible Dance Classes

Episode 81,   Apr 21, 2023, 10:00 AM

And we’re back with a fresh new Happy Hour episode!

As always, Claire and Paulina are here to play you great music, share some great conversations about sight loss and wellbeing, and indulge in some random chat like how many bonbons can Claire fit in her mouth and the dangers of hot tubs.

But first up, David chats with social media content creator Sylvia Chengo about handling mean comments online.  

Paulina hears from Emma Moody from the Lake District National Park about how we can enjoy the great outdoors without barriers thanks to their Miles Without Stiles project.

And finally, Amelia talks with Step Change Studios and hears about their Bollywood and Ballroom dance classes for blind and partially sighted people.
