The training group use the gifts of its members to train other people.

I decided to train other centre members what is was like to have a visual impairment as I was fed up with people pulling me around at the day service but wanted to be treated like everyone else. It was also important that I told people how important it was to get your eyes checked at least once a year.

All training is delivered by self advocates and supported by advisers and volunteers.
