Our Core team was delighted to be working with the very talented Allie John of Yellobrick on Cardiff University’s STEM event. Megan, Ben, Mared and Jake played special METS agents planning a trip to Mars. The event was held at The Reardon Smith Theatre, but as it is all top secret – that’s all we can tell you!
A great day was had by all at Lewis Girls School, when visually impaired young people from the area were joined by sixth formers for a day for drama and fun. UCAN Team very much look forward to visiting the school again soon

The Community Trade Union invited UCAN to perform at a fringe event at Conference this year in Torquay.
Members of UCAN, alongside members of NLB, performed and presented materials and videos created to combat disability hate crime. Much more on this to follow!
As part of the Future Insight Project funded by the Big Lottery, the UCAN Team ran workshops in partnership with Guide Dogs at The Gwent Visual Impairment Service in Cwmbran, for young people and their parents. While the young people enjoyed confidence building drama activities, parents attended ‘Stepping Back’, a workshop delivered by Adrian Linney of Guide Dogs, for parents of transition aged children and young people with a visual impairment, to help them gain confidence and practical skills to support their
child’s preparation for the transition to living independently.
