Happy new year from SVI

Happy New Year.  We hope you have enjoyed the festive break and that 2023 will bring you much health and happiness.

Santa gives a Christmas gift to an SVI member

We had a busy run up to Christmas. Our festive activities included our popular Active 60 Santa’s turkey sandwich party. Rickie enjoyed the Santa’s party afternoon and said: “This were a great afternoon, I felt upbeat and relaxed.”

There are more images from the day on our video on our ‘Season’s greetings” page.

SVI members listen to the speakers at the annual forum at Portway

Our Annual Forum in late November was our first large face-to-face activity since Covid.  Over one hundred SVI members and friends got together at Portway Lifestyle Centre.

We enjoyed talks from our guest speakers: Karren Visser, visually impaired photographer, and Gary Holland, former Sensory Impairment Rehabilitation Officer.

The forum gave members the opportunity to browse a range of exhibition stands too.

Dan said: “Lovely time spent at the AGM. Really great catching up with old friends and making new ones.”
