THE Llandudno branch of Blind Veterans UK plans an afternoon of Easter themed family fun on Saturday March 31.

The event offers cake decorating, and a blindfolded woodland egg chime trail, with the chance to win a basket of exciting Easter prizes. It will take place from 1pm to 4pm at the charity’s training and rehabilitation centre in Queens Road Llandudno, North Wales.

The event has been specially designed so that it’s fully accessible for those with vision-impairment.

Victoria Beech, Regional Fundraiser, says: “We think it’s really important, as a charity for vision-impaired veterans, for our activities to be as accessible as possible for our supporters and for young people in our community with vision-impairments.

“With that in mind, the Easter egg trail will be blindfolded and will include clues written in braille and raised block letters. Similarly, the art activities will make use of textured materials to ensure inclusivity for all our guests.”

Admission costs £3 per child, payable on arrival, which includes all participation in all activities, cordial and cake. All children aged under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.

Blind Veterans UK was founded in 1915 and the charity’s initial purpose was to help and support soldiers blinded in WWI. But the organisation has gone on to support more than 35,000 blind veterans and their families, spanning WWII to recent conflicts including Iraq and Afghanistan.
