AGM Guest Speaker
Our Annual General Meeting is fast approching on Tuesday 6th June 2023, 11.00am to 2:30pm. We are pleased to announce that the guest speaker will be Liam O’Carroll.
Liam has been (quite literally) a man of many parts: he is an actor (playing roles in Father Ted, Doctor Who Mastermind, Casualty, 24 Seven and many more). But he is also a stand-up comic, radio presenter, screenwriter and trainer.
Currently Liam is a Project Coordinator with London Vision, which is now part of the Pocklington Trust.
He was diagnosed as partially sighted in 1976 and was registered as blind in 1981 – which has not deterred him from having a creative, exciting and varied life.
We look forward to what will undoubtedly be a fascinating speech after the formal business of our AGM.
To book your place please phone 0208 605 0060 or email [email protected]
