London Vision will be hosting our 2nd VI Student Network event next month on Monday 3rd December 6pm – 8pm at Pocklington Hub.

At this event guests will hear from two organisations that specialise in supporting blind & partially sighted students and graduates into meaningful and accessible internships, and guests will also have a chance to network with both of our speakers, and with each other.

Please RSVP by Friday this week so that we can ensure we have enough support for the event. This being our last event before the festive season we will ensure we’ve got plenty of drinks and snacks to get us in the party mood, so don’t miss out.
