Welcome to our March new recruits The Wilberforce Trust The Wilberforce Trust are committed to supporting people with sight loss, and do this through supported accommodation, low vision clinics, visual awareness, training and activities. The Trust aims to see a world in which all people with sight loss, including those with other disabilities, are truly integrated in society with equal opportunities in all aspects of life. Their vision clinics are free (only a donation is asked for) and available to anyone classed as having ‘low vision’ and support people who would benefit from a magnifier or UV eye shields, binoculars or monocular or TV specs. The clinics can also help people understand their vision and how to make the most of it. If you’d like to know more go to www.wilberforcetrust.org.uk or contact them on 01904 760037.
York’s Holgate Windmill Holgate Windmill is York’s last surviving windmill and the oldest 5-sailed windmill in the country. It’s been fully restored and now produces traditional stone-ground flour. The Mill is open regularly at special open days throughout the year when you will have the opportunity to talk to the knowledgeable volunteers who can show you how it’s done. You can also purchase flour and a wide range of other gifts any Saturday morning 10.00am till 12.00 noon. To find out more go to www.holgatewindmill.org
