Barry-John scores with his heart felt presentation

Barry-John

Barry-John Hartveld, from Blind Veterans UK, told us about the work they do with ex-Service men and women of every generation to overcome sight loss. They provide rehabilitation, advice, training and emotional support. He brought some examples of the kind of things they provide and a model aeroplane made by one of the veterans with over 90% sight loss.
