Mike Newmans Walk in the dark, is a success!

Mike's first walk in the dark was a fantastic success. With out exception all participants agreed that it was a great exercise in team work and trust. For most of the people that took part, it was the first time they had guided anyone that could not see where they were going, however in the future everyone said that they now feel more confident about offering help to a blind person if they look like they need it. After the walk was over people were all chatting about how they were hearing things that they would never notice when they go for a walk normally. Please take time to listen to Fay's interview with some of the walkers.
