Global Music Visions attended the recent ‘Finding Your Feet’ event, held by Action for Blind People to help people adjusting to sight loss.
The event was held at the Holiday Inn, Southsea, Portsmouth.

“It was an exciting two days helping out at this event, and being able to support others living with sight loss. I was able to talk about GMV and how music has helped me, and how we will continue to help others”
