A FULLY equipped bus packed with resources for visually impaired people will be visiting Kidderminster on Wednesday, May 21.

The bus will be sited on the Bromsgrove Street car park from 10am until 4pm.

Worcestershire Association for the Blind (WAB) has arranged for the bus to visit the county and someone from WAB will be on hand to offer local services for visually impaired people and to assist with local issues.

"This is an opportunity for anyone who is either visually impaired or a professional working in the field to access resources which can enable people to remain independent." Said Rhian Thompson, WAB's training and rehabilitation manager.

"We will welcome anyone who has a sight impairment issue to come along and view what is on offer."

Anyone who wants to know more can contact Worcestershire Association for the Blind, at The Bradbury Centre, 2 Sansome Walk, Worcester, WR1 1LH or on 01905 723245.
