On the 24th October 2007 we held another IMPACT event, this time for children. The event took 18 visually impaired children, their siblings and parents to the Roald Dahl Museums in Buckinghamshire.
The trip first took the children to the Roald Dahl Museum and Story centre and the group enjoyed dressing up like Willy Wonka, sitting in Roald's chair, listening to a story teller and exploring the chocolate smelling room. The trip then took the group to the Roald Dahl Children's Gallery where they explored inside a giant peach, played with Willy Wonkas inventions, rode in the glass elevator and captured their shadows in a dark room!
The day was inspired by the current NRSB youth service. We wanted to give the children a fun, exciting and interesting day away from their normal routine. We are looking to develop the youth service in the near future and this trip was the perfect way to encourage the children to talk about what they enjoy.
