IMPACT EVENTS INFORMATION

(please call the NRSB office to register for all events as there are limited places)


All events are free of charge except where stated


Employment through Technology

This is an event held jointly with RNIB to help with the barriers to work through the development of individuals technology and job search skills.

Mixed Creative Activity Days

These events are an all day event starting from 9.30 until 3.00. There will be a choice of activities for you to have a go at, including a Drumming workshop, Storytelling, and a basic Dance session. The activities will differ from town to town.

We will also have a guest speaker, a lovely buffet lunch and an afternoon discussion group. We will also help with transport needs if required.

Working Age Social

This will be a Bowling and Pizza night, starting at AMF Bowling at 6pm, next to Nottingham Ice Arena and then onto Pizza Express on Goosegate. All we are asking for is a £10 contribution for this particular event which will cover 1 game of bowling, shoe hire and complimentary drink, meal and another drink at Pizza Express.

Again this will be your opportunity to tell us what kind of services or support you would like from NRSB.

Computer Training Day

This event will be all day, held jointly with British Computer Association for the Blind. The event will take place at NRSB’s centre on Ortzen Street, Nottingham. You will be shown basic computer skills including using email, shopping on-line, searching on the internet and writing letters.

A lovely buffet lunch will be provided and we can help with your transport needs.

Goalball Sports Event

Again, this event will be all day. The morning session will involve learning the basics to Goalball with a qualified Goalball coach. All equipment will be provided.

After a nice long lunch, involving a chance to discuss your ideas for future services and activities, you will then have a chance to put your newly learned skills to the test in a short Goalball tournament.
