How To Be A VIP

Join me this Mother's Day for an extra special episode where we delve into everything from conception to schooling, and the top tips and tricks for visually impaired parents.

This week, I am thrilled to welcome Adam Ockelford, founder of the Amber Trust, and service user Eleanor. The Amber Trust is a charitable organisation that offers music education, concerts, and workshops to enrich the lives of blind and visually impaired children. The three of us discuss how visual impairment can be a strength when creating music, accessibility, and how the music industry could be more inclusive.

This week, I play the weather girl as I walk you through the changes in the seasons, and how the different seasons affect visual impairments, from changes in the landscape and temperature to canes vs guide dogs.

This week, I play agony aunt as I answer your questions about dating as a visually impaired person, covering everything from red and green flags to how you can tell if you are attracted to someone.

This week, we’re embarking on a global journey through the eyes of a VIP, celebrating the accessible side of countries and cities while discussing the diverse cultural experiences we've had. From flights and ships to guide dogs and local cuisine, Sassy and I explore it all, sharing the joys and challenges of traveling the world.

We're kicking off 2025 by celebrating Strictly Come Dancing's first VIP winner, and as it's January it seemed very fitting to focus on dance-themed New Year's resolutions.
